Chrome memory leak

Just noticed this today. System became jerky and slow to do stuff like open explorer or another folder. I minimized Chrome and my memory monitior was pegged at 92%. I checked in Tak Manager and there were multiple processes of Chrome running. All had better than 12K memory usage. This never happened before. Any thoughts.

It will probably be announced when the update is released so I'd keep an eye out for it. :)

Meanwhile, I'd limit the number of tabs you have open at once.

I switched over to FF temporarily.

It's probably just sending back all that ad data to Google. :D

Yeah, my memory leaks like a sieve.... data flows out faster than it goes in these days, thus I try not to blow my nose.  I mean, don't wanna exacerbate the issue, do I!

:grin:

And no, I did NOT snitch.... 'twas a memory leak. :-"
