The Chrome browser has always been one of the most popular browsers since its release until now, and of course, it is the main RAM killer of computers. It doesn’t matter if the RAM capacity of your system is 4 GB or even 32 GB and more; In any case, by opening Chrome, you will dedicate most of the RAM capacity to Chrome.
Although Google has always been trying to optimize the use of Chrome and periodically improves the stability and consumption of hardware resources of this browser with frequent updates, RAM consumption is still one of the biggest problems for users when using Chrome.
This issue becomes more pronounced when you connect your Google account to Chrome to sync information, extensions and history, and at this time you will see that at least half of the RAM capacity is easily allocated to this browser.
In general, it is inevitable that a large part of the system resources will be used to use this browser, but with solutions, this effect can be greatly reduced, especially in the case of RAM consumption.
