Task Manager shows "(18)" behind Google Chrome with only three tab open. Is this normal?

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Rest assured, that is normal in Task Manager, Chrome, Edge and most other browsers are multi-threaded apps and the main process is broken up into smaller processes like the graphics engine, the audio engine, one for each tab, one for each extension, security...etc and that enables the browser to not make one of the cores on your processor run at 100%, each of the smaller processes can run on a different processor core.

If Chrome is crashing, completely uninstall Chrome, restart your PC, then download and re-install the latest version they provide.

If that does not solve this, you seem to have a lot of Chrome Extensions installed, try removing some of them to stabilize Chrome.

Rest assured it is NOT normal to have 10 processes open in Task Manager for one Chrome tab.

It is a bloated application.

hi i read that every single of these opened is due to smaller stuff like graphics n audio n so on in everyone vs a huge instead!

But why do i sometimes have 39 and now with 2 sites opened 29 in taskmanager?

29 opened is 1.5gb of memory usage and when i play some new games that needs as much memory as possible its just horrible that google chrome is so damn demanding these days(but still i seen well over 2-3gb usage for it during a download)

should google chrome actually use this many gb to run? it seems to much?

1.5-6gb usage depending on what n how much opened is extremly much memory used i think for some texts !

is there another program that doesent use these high amounts of memry i could use instead?

its ok on my new pc,but on my older its making the whole pc slow.......

1extension is all i have at the momen when i have 2sides open in google chrom shows 29 in taskmanager-1500mb usage!

could this be correct?

Hello Dave, I am having a similar problem where my chrome starts freezing almost instantly and when i check my task manager it says that there suddenly are around 17 to 18 chrome tasks open. Simultaneously my ram and CPU go up to 90% and then back down to 50 % after a short while. Btw I have 16 ggb of ram so that shouldn't be an issue. This also just happened suddenly when I tried switching accounts. I also don't have any extensions beside an anti virus one so I have no idea what's going on. The biggest problem is that I can't even access the settings in chrome because it freezes before i manage to click on settings. FYI, I have tried uninstalling and re-installing but nothing seems to work.

Please help, desperate guy who is bored af.
