Chrome can use a lot of memory with many tabs and extensions open.

1. Use Chrome Task Manager

Press Shift + Esc in Chrome to see what’s using memory, and end heavy tabs.

2. Turn on Memory Saver

Settings > Performance > Memory Saver frees memory from inactive tabs.

3. Remove extensions

Go to chrome://extensions and remove ones you don’t use.

4. Close unused tabs

Bookmark tabs for later instead of keeping them open.

5. Update Chrome
