i like it. What's Steam?
CptBoomBoom
Steam destroys my computer. I don't use Chrome.
TsubakiTragic
One reason is because of all the testing Chrome/Chromium/Brave/et al do in the background, irrespective of the number of tabs.

Linus Tech Tips actually did a video with 2TB of RAM and Google Chrome. It was neat.

Chrome using more ram than a modern AAA video game...

It's typically: Browsing imgur entire day -> task manager -> imgur: 2.5GB.
Rektastic
Windows also eats up like 20% of my computer's ram. I upgraded from 8 to 24 GB, with only internet/steam/discord open, it went from 3 to 7.2
dancinshroom
It generally will be the same but a lot will sit in the page file on a low ram system. On 8GB ram its 3GB % 4GB Paged vs 7GB unpaged on 24GB

Firefox is the offspring of the greatest browser ever: Netscape Navigator. There is no reason to use any other.
Eomund521
My laptop doesn't notice chrome like at all.

Seems to me 5 years ago Firefox had this distinction.

this hurts me so much, because its true.
DangerScoops
Its true and my pc is dying because of it.

Just built my computer for cad cam work. 64gigs of ram. Come at me chrome... I use Firefox like a civilized human but my point remains.

I get that Chrome is a RAM hog but honestly, who actually has to deal with this these days? Unless you’re using a PC with 256 MB of RAM?
AnticlockwiseMetamorphosis
My PC has 8GB ram and chrome has successfully crashed my whole computer multiple times in the middle of class. Any tips?
OrdinalChaos
Sounds like it's not just a matter of the amount of ram, as my laptop has 4gb of ram and can run a dozen chrome tabs pretty quickly.
not4chars
Maybe not have 42 tabs open at once.

Nah that doesn't matter. As long as they are not actively loaded its not a issue I currently have 299 tabs in 8 windows open, 803MB RAM used
If you count all the background tasks and stuff that cant be seen in Task Manager its more like 2GB, but still who cares on systems >8BG Ram
Tekktokk
ohnoofcourseyourright
I work in IT. I've seen ppl using like 16GB on a couple tabs. Chrome is a hog
mauserneineightkay
After 99 tabs open in Chrome, the tab count just shows a " :D "
somnif
middlehead
I have personally seen someone have Firefox with 3500 tabs open and not kill the system. 30ish Chrome tabs cripple the same unit.
apathyboy
huh, firefox dies at around 550 for me
This is my current firefox instance as I type this. Holding up just over 6gb. Wheeee.
Badwolf09
Don’t tell me how to live my life. Those 42 tabs are all important, I’ll finish reading all those articles someday.
Mirilali
And those recipes to attempt and projects to work on.. It's like my own 'honey do list' ! And just as productive... Hmm.
I have two tabs open from August 2019.

42 sounds like quite the improvement these days...
42 tabs per window, 3-4 windows is my rule.
Seriously. That's how many are left after a nice purge or crash that closed a bunch on me.
MofongoBalls
How else am I gonna watch porn?
Get a tab suspender extension so you can have literally thousands of tabs taking up less than 2GB of RAM
Exactly!
sirlilpanda1337
Currently I have 72 tabs open and it's using 1gb of ram
StarkRG

Elmotrix
AHornyRhino
All those Pornhub tabs. I can respect that commitment to get the best nut.
Fuckme721
I've had it freeze my entire computer with just 4 YouTube tabs open. My computer runs on ultra quality with games, it's not a bad PC.
Isexualiseeverything
Really? That's weird. I've never had issues with Chrome. What's your specs?
Honestly it only happened once or twice out of the 3 or 4 years I've had this PC. 1/2
But I've got 16 GB ram, a GeForce GTX 960 (kinda old, but I don't have the money to upgrade), and a AMD anthalon x4 860k CPU. 2/2
Edit: So yeah my computer specs are pretty low for current gaming but it does alright.
Bruh, I've had Chrome lock up systems while uninstalled.
sincewhenisausernamerequiredformobile
Learn how to take care of a windows installation and dumb shit like this won't happen.
Taktical1
Chrome is an insignificant blip on my radar because I have 32 gb of RAM.
Dojutrek
All those insidious background processes. Might as well nuke the MBR from orbit just to be sure.
York13
haha damn dude.. great combo references
illegalacorn
how much fucking ram do you have? I ran 8gb for 5 years and never once locked up.
spiffylookingnerfherder
32gb; Chrome can still tie up a quarter of it with just three or four tabs open.
lighterletter
Sounds like something else bruh, I have like 8 windows open w/ 10 tabs each of articles I'll never read from months ago, 16gb, runs fine.
mrsanntastic350
As an IT professional, I can assure you Chrome has memory leaks out the ass.
Sylphyyy
One fuckin tab open and my poor surface's ram is already showing 36%.
idek what to even do to solve it and keep it from overheating aside from what I did: use firefox instead and halve it.
Unklejrad
Weird cause firefox uses the same amount of ram for me....
Yeah I thought the same would happen and yet... it works?
Porsali
Chrome will grab as much as you can offer without compromising the system. 4GB if you have 8GB. 2GB if you have 4GB
Velemu
Ehh not so much, currently hovering 3Gb/32Gb...
ChaoticSquid
The base amount is still far too much for what chrome is. I've been thinking about switching to Firefox or edge recently
l33t1c4r1u5
Edge is pretty good. It is based on chromium now
SeismicCoin
i was looking for a lightweight browser to be able to quickly use as a "secondary" and was led to Vivaldi, and in the day ive used it im >>>
considering switching it over as my primary. its really nice
SephWalker
Edge? Really?
Yes Edge. I use the new version based on chromium.
AlphaVirus2g
Edge is good for majority users.
keebs63
If you're not using it why not allow it to use it. It's literally just a cache to load webpages faster. It gives it up when another needs it
My point is that the base amount of ram, regardless of what free ram it grabs, is still far too high.
The "base amount" is under 100MB, it runs well enough on even a laptop with 2GB of memory, I even tried for myself on an old ass PC.
Oh yes.
You should try hard closeing Chrome and then hitting "restore tabs" when you re-open it. So that you keep the tabs but they remain unloaded
Yeah I've noticed that when I've rebooted - I should use that more. Will do so on my laptop. Desktop is whatever.
I have 299 tabs in 8 windows utilizing 805MB of ram. Only because I dont go and load all those tabs
Who the he'll needs 299 tabs
