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

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

Others have given great answers, I just wanted to add that Chrome will automatically scale back its RAM usage if other apps start to need it. So you shouldn’t have any negative issues caused by chrome taking up so much RAM!
