If you have ever run your own browser RAM-use test, there’s a strong chance you found Chrome using more RAM than other browsers. Google Chrome is absolutely one of the fastest browsers, but it needs a lot of RAM to take that title.
Is it normal for Chrome to use a lot of memory?
Using chrome can sometimes seems tedious, the reason behind this is as follows. Chrome splits every tab, plugin and extension into its own process. This leads to higher RAM usage since it has to duplicate some tasks for every tab.
Why is Chrome so heavy on RAM?
Chrome runs each tab as a separate new process. This is to make sure that you get a fast browsing experience along with high stability. So when you have multiple open tabs running in your browser, more processes need to be executed. This results in Chrome taking up a lot of memory.
