Why Chrome consumes so much memory when it’s running?

479 views

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

Because now that it’s the dominant browser and most peoples default it’s gotten bloated, slow, and inefficient, just like Netscape and IE before it. It’s coasting on reputation to, many still assume it’s the fastest/best browser because it USED to be, back when it wasn’t the number one. But when you have as dominant a position as Chrome does you don’t have to be as competitive, reputation and inertia let you get away with a lot. On Windows I use Firefox as my primary browser and Safari on Mac. I only use Chrome when I absolutely have to.
