Hi,

Memory usages by almost all browsers (Firefox, Opera, Chrome,..) are between 400MB to 500 MB even with one tab, which is very high.

Can its memory usages be decreased? If yes, please let me know, how?

With Regards

    Reset browsers.

    Delete unwanted extensions (if any)

    You will have to re-enable your Extensions and Themes
    Click (⋮) , "More Tools", and then "Extensions"). Click on "Enable" for all extensions that you use.

    Try running the internal Chrome Cleanup Tool:
    Put the following in the Omnibox (where the URL is) and hit <enter> 

    chrome://settings/?search=clean

    Click on "Clean up computer"

    Run antimalware tool in Safe mode.
