I have 9 low intensity tabs open in google chrome and am at 54% of 8GB of RAM. There are 22 instances of "chrome.exe" running. How do I remedy this. I knew it was a meme, but holy shit

Any unused RAM is wasted. There's no reason for your computer to not be using at least 50% of your RAM at all times. Even Linux works this way and actively allocates memory in order to use as much RAM as possible.

opera. its like chrome but without google play
also that might be printspooler or if your using windows10 its trying to be psychic and load shit before you do it and after a while if you break a routine its just guessing and loading shit thats not even running

Install IceCat

At this point I am considering another browser but I'd like to stay with chrome if I could.

chrome://flags/#automatic-tab-discarding
or
get OneTab extension. chrome.exe multiple instances are normal

Yeah because I have no other applications running so chrome can take all the ram.
Also 50% RAM used != 50℅ sits unused

I have 8 tabs open and am using 51% of my ram.

Inaccurate

So having to flush out used ram to give to something else is better? The cache is supposed to be helpful, not wasteful. Fucking retard.
