No matter how many other programs I am running, when I open task manager it always seems like Chrome is at 1000 or 2000+ MB of memory usage, whereas everything else barely hits 500MB

What chrome does as opposed to other browsers is it treats each tab as it’s own thing.
Think of lights wired in parallel as opposed to in series.
In series if 1 light goes out they all go out. In parallel if 1 light goes out the rest are fine. In most other browsers if 1 tab crashes then it takes down everything else with it as opposed to Chrome if 1 crashes only that one crashes and the rest are fine.
That comes at a cost which is ram and on top of that its doing a bunch of other stuff in the background like syncing.
