Chrome browser "invisible" tabs / memory resource hogging
Posted: Wed Feb 05, 2025 12:21 pm
12 visible Chrome tabs are open but Task Manager tells me that 29 instances of Chrome processes are running. It's using around half the RAM which even on an 11th Gen i7 with 16GB is causing problems with other processes running slow or crashing.
I appreciate that some tabs will run hotter with memory than others depending on what they are doing, but why the multiple instances of Chrome?
What's going on? Can I fix it? Do I need to?

Apologies for non technical language.
