It's Chrome being inefficient. If you want a more efficient browser PaleMoon and WaterFox are two good FireFox based options.

Its not chrome.

That's what browsers do, they use a lot of memory. I sometimes need to restart my firefox because of that. I should try a 64 bit version but they are REALLY not supported properly from what I can tell.

Case: Meatbag, humanoid - APU: Human Brain version 1.53 (stock clock) - Storage: 100TB SND (Squishy Neuron Drive) - PSU: a combined 500W of Mitochondrial cells - Optical Drives: 2 Oculi, with corrective lenses.

You have a lot of tabs open, and you probably have not closed the browser in a while, making a lot of cache files for all the sites you have been to.

You need to cut down on your tab usage and restart the browser more often.

With the amount of tabs you have open, that's completely normal.
