How does chrome take 4 gb of ram? That is like 5 full movies.
In: Technology
Every tab and extension in Chrome is divided into its own process, so if one crashes, it doesn’t take down the entire web page or all of your open tabs at once. This is much more convenient for you, but it may cause Chrome to consume more memory because it must replicate some operations for each tab.
Other things are going on behind the scenes as well. For example, Chrome’s prerendering functionality uses more RAM, but it speeds up the loading of your web pages. Additionally, certain extensions or websites may leak memory, resulting in increased RAM utilisation over time.
