Browser Using Resources

[Innoxent Ghost]

Chrome was my default browser and I used it on a regular basis. Of course it used a lot of CPU and RAM. But then I started using Opera GX and made it my default browser. One day I noticed that my CPU usage was 100%. I opened the task manager and found that chrome is using 70% of the CPU and 30% of the RAM. I disabled it in the "start up" section in the Task Manager and also disabled it's background processes. This solved the issue for the time being but when restarted the Laptop, Chrome started in the background after a while; so I uninstalled it. Now it's the same issue with Firefox. Whenever I boot up my Laptop, it just starts running in the background; and I haven't ever used Firefox. Sure, I can uninstall it too but then MS Edge might start showing the same behavior. How can I get rid of this thing? Will it affect my Laptop in a bad way if I do?

It sounds like you have some other app that opens up a Firefox/Chrome/whatever - session and the problem isn't with the browsers themselves. Uninstall or disable all your apps and then find out which one is causing this behaviour.
