Chrome may be the best browser around, but it eats up your PC’s RAM like turkey on Thanksgiving. If you’ve ever looked at your task manager, you’ve probably flipped out at the sheer number of Chrome processes and the memory they hog. Here’s why Chrome uses so much RAM, and how to curb its gluttony.

ram usage is good, though you don't want to be using all ur ram because then you can't open any more programs

Used to be that programs took up not much ram. Now it's just whatever the slob programmer feels like. No respect for the ram anymore and I'm sick to hell of it.

the point is, ladies and gentleman, that ram -- for lack of a better word -- is good.

ram is right.

ram works.

ram clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.

ram, in all of its forms -- ram for life, for money, for love, knowledge -- has marked the upward surge of mankind.

and ram -- you mark my words -- will not only save yospos, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA.

my computer is slow because chrome makes it swap to my hard drive

it swaps to my hard drive because my ssd barely has any free space and starts eating files if i use it too much

I only check my RAM usage because lately some of my Steam games have been memory leaking and even though Windows 10 is some drat win, they haven't figured out how to reclaim leaked memory after the process dies so I have to restart my PC sometimes
