How does chrome take 4 gb of ram? That is like 5 full movies.
In: Technology
Memory leak bugs in Chrome and/or your operating system (OS). When Chrome needs more memory, like when you open a new tab, it asks the OS for some. But later, when you close the tab, that memory is lost until the OS can safely make it accessible again. This can happen so often that large amounts of RAM are used by Chrome.
I notice Chrome has significant bugs with long tables. And Facebook Marketplace. Chrome had 28GB allocated in one instance. Never crashes, but can take a few minutes to clear things up.
