The memory is not so horrible, but to use half of of a computer's CPU power is going to cause a dramatic slowdown in Windows. For each entry there will be information such as the amount of CPU being used, the amount of memory being used, its process ID, and the current network activity.įor example, in the image above we see an extension called SafeBrowse that is using 59MB of memory and 48.4% of the computer's CPU. When the Task Manager opens it will display a list of all open Tabs, extensions, and processes currently being used by Chrome.
To open the Google Task Manager, first click on the Settings button ( ), then select More Tools, and finally click on Task Manager as shown below. This can then be used to find problematic extensions or web pages that should be uninstalled or avoided. Thankfully, Google has included in Chrome a utility called the Chrome Task Manager that allows you to see how much memory and CPU a particular Chrome process, extension, and web page is using. When this occurs, if you look in the Windows Task Manager you will see that chrome is using a lot of CPU or memory as shown below. This can cause the Chrome and the Windows to become slow, freeze, or crash.
Unfortunately, it has become very common to find malicious Chrome extensions, poorly designed extensions, or extension monetization that causes Google Chrome to use up too much CPU or memory on a computer.
