What's good, folks? Let me tell y'all something about Google Chrome. It's a dope-ass browser, but sometimes it can act up and have high CPU usage. Don't worry, though. I got you covered with some quick tweaks to fix that ish.
1. Disable Extensions
First things first, let's check your extensions. Sometimes they can be the culprit of high CPU usage. To disable them, go to your Chrome settings, click on "Extensions", and turn them off one by one until you find the culprit. And if you don't need an extension, just delete it altogether to keep your browser running smoothly.
2. Clear Your Browser Cache
Another quick fix for high CPU usage on Chrome is clearing your browser data. This includes your cache, cookies, and browsing history. Go to your Chrome settings, click on "Privacy and security", then "Clear browsing data". Select what you want to clear and click "Clear data". This should help speed up your browser.
3. Use Task Manager to Find the Culprit
If your CPU usage is still high, use Chrome's built-in Task Manager to see what's causing the problem. Go to your Chrome settings, click on "More tools", then "Task manager". This will show you the CPU usage of every tab and extension you have open. You can then end a specific process or tab to free up CPU resources.
4. Disable Hardware Acceleration
Hardware acceleration can cause high CPU usage if it's not supported by your GPU or if it's outdated. To disable it, go to your Chrome settings, click on "Advanced", then "System". Turn off "Use hardware acceleration when available". This will shift the load from your GPU to your CPU, which should help reduce high CPU usage.
5. Update Chrome
Make sure you're using the latest version of Chrome. Old versions can have bugs and security issues that can cause high CPU usage. To update Chrome, go to your Chrome settings, click on "About Chrome", and it will automatically check for updates. If there's an update available, it will download and install it.
6. Use Google Drive
Google Drive is a great way to save and share files. And the best part about it is that it uses cloud storage, which means it won't slow down your computer like local storage can. Plus, you can access your files from any device. So if you have a lot of files to store, Google Drive is a great option.
