Roommate's laptop.
Only 1 chrome tab open, why so many processes in Task Manager. Should I tell him to format it?

    Could be extensions and background apps...

    Right click on chrome tab / title bar, go to task manager and look at the tasks running.

    It's just chrome... Nothing special

    Chrome is sandboxing every extension too, nothing wrong here because it's more secure that way

    Chrome uses isolation which runs every extension, tab, subprocess and probably every available function as a separate process to avoid the whole program crashing. The downside is it makes it as slow as a wad of dog cum sliding down the wall

    @DucksCanCode I used different browsers on slow virtual machines, and chrome ist the fastest of them 😉

    @Sumafu without a crapload of extensions and tabs, yes it is fast. Turn that into a web development browser and watch it collapse in in itself xD

    @ahasbini
    some of the plugins settings are under
    chrome://settings/content

    also
    chrome://chrome-urls/
    is a good place for more the easter eggs.

    Try checking what's taking up the memory in Chrome's task manager (shortcut - shift + escape). You can narrow it down to which extension or page or whatever is causing the problem..

    Do whatever it says on the top: "Try Microsoft Edge". Then uninstall Google Chrome. problem solved. When you are at it, uninstall firefox aswell.

    @sebastian totally agree, I was using edge with 5 tabs and 2 extensions... I had to install chrome, because stupid non standard backend of a client app worked only with Chrome, because of some non standard api, guess what? Clean chrome with 1 tab used more ram :) (i use also FF as my second browser)
