Fix High RAM Memory Usages By Google Chrome | Make Chrome Faster

Google Chrome is a memory hog, we all know this. It takes tons of memory on the computer and makes it run slow.
If you are running Google Chrome on Laptop/PC with less RAM it will make it much slower.
There are some tweaks that can make your Google Chrome run faster without eating RAM memory.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗧𝗼 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗙𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿

These tips Works on Windows 7, 8/8.1, and Windows 10 with all the updates.

1. Open Task Manager of Google Chrome and find which extensions are taking high memory, then disable them.
2. Go to Settings then Advanced, enable GPU Acceleration when possible.
3. Delete the Google Chrome junk from the Default folder.
4. Download and install "The great suspender" chrome extension to release the memory from unused tabs.
5. From the Advanced settings disable "Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed". This will also fix the slow performance of other software on your computer since it will close google chrome completely and you can work on other programs.

These tips and tricks would make your Chrome faster, but be sure not to open tons of tabs if you are on a computer with low RAM memory.

If you don't fix high RAM memory usages by Google Chrome then it will run slow and also it will throw frequent errors related to memory.
These errors are sbox_fatal_memory_exceeded or xbox fatal memory exceeded. There may not be any other issue with your Windows PC but Chrome is taking all the memory.

Just clear the excess RAM usages by Chrome and you will not get those errors.

Read the updates since the great suspender has been removed for violating Chrome policies-
You can use OneTab Chrome extension, a top alternative to the great suspender.

Note: It is advised to create a system restore point before following any Windows tutorial.

Thank you so, so much, Sandeep! My Chrome was running like a garbage heap until I ran through these steps and now it's like it's brand-new. Appreciate all of your help. Subscribed!

Have been having PC crashes due to excessive Chrome memory use, and after watching this and implementing your suggestions, my PC is MUCH faster and has much more memory available, and I'm confident the crashes are history. Thanks so much.


In particular I think the suggestion to rename the Default folder in the AppData, thus clearing that out, along with turning OFF the "Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed" feature, were key for me. Great work Mr. Singh!

Just a tip hardware extraction takes up more ram if u use google chrome for games and stuff along those lines

[The_Curious_Cat]

Or just change to some other browser that doesn´t hog as much memory. It´s ridiculous the amount of memory the thing uses. I have 64gb of memory because I work in 3D modelling and rendering, so i need a lot of memory and after a while I decided to check the quantity of memory was being used by the system. Yep, it was using 62gb of it. Nice work google.
