Chrome's memory use is not a bug — each tab and extension runs in its own process, which is what stops one bad page from taking down the browser. The problem is when that adds up to gigabytes.

Chrome questions
Why does Chrome use so much RAM?
Per-process isolation. Every tab, extension and plugin gets its own process so a crash stays contained. The trade-off is memory overhead per process, which is why extension count matters as much as tab count.
Does Memory Saver in Chrome actually work?
Yes. It suspends tabs you have not used recently and reloads them on click, which typically cuts total usage substantially on a session with many open tabs. Find it under Settings, then Performance.
How do I find which Chrome tab is slowing my computer?
Press Shift+Esc to open Chrome's built-in Task Manager. Sort by Memory or CPU and the offending tab or extension is usually obvious at the top of the list.
