Chrome using too much RAM


demoneye

Recommended Posts

I would echo the same responses regarding Chrome being an inadequate browser that takes over way too much memory. That's why I de-installed it too. However, not to be a basher, I recall there being a "trick" regarding the task manager within Chrome to add a "purge memory" button. It should clear up your RAM and still leave all the tabs you have opened intact. You do have to get into TM and press it each time, it's a "rock, stick and string" type of solution, but what can you do, it's Chrome.

Hopefully, it can still be added into Chrome.

I hate Chrome, and apparently Google has gotten in trouble over people's passwords and other info. Sorry no info, I was half asleep when I red it, heard it or seen it.

RAM is there to be used, only when you start swapping you have a problem, as long a an app releases the memory when another app needs it is pointless to look at memory usages

I have some sort of un realted issue but with Firefox that eats my RAM. I have unnnistalled and installed again and it takes aprox 800mb ram for 3 tabs opened and makes my system run slow. (Win8 4GB RAm x64) and the only plugins are the Adblock, HOLA Player and the Hotspot Shield thing)

Did you try to back-up your existing profile and then running Firefox on a brand new profile?

You can always restore the previous profile - if not satisfied.

Edit:

Most of the tweaks that were made prior to the V8 fail to work with the latest releases and can be causing conflicts in your system.

Actually I did not, I erased everything and ran CCleaner after that. New and "fresh" Firefox Install with the latest version, 19.

0.2.

Check the screenshot if Firefox is running normal with ALL that RAM going.

Why would I waste my money to buy SSD or waste memory to create a RAM Disk, when I can simply configure Firefox or any browser to work the way I want?
