Once we have the PC running, as we run different applications, they consume a certain amount of resources. One of the main complaints, despite its enormous market penetration, that the Google Chrome browser has, is precisely that high consumption.
At this time, Internet browsers are existing programs and almost constantly running on most computers. Whether desktop or mobile, solutions like Firefox, Edge, or the aforementioned Chrome are working pretty much all the time. Hence precisely the importance of the RAM memory and the CPU that these applications use in their day to day.
As we mentioned before, the undisputed leader in this sector and by far is Google’s proposal . But despite hovering around 70% global market penetration , that’s not to say it’s a perfect show. In addition to everything related to privacy, there are many users who complain about the high consumption of resources by this program. In fact, we only have to take a look at the Windows Task Manager itself to, on many occasions, see this first-hand.
To say that the Task Manager that we are talking about is a basic element in the Microsoft system. We can open it through the key combination Ctrl + Shift + Esc and it gives us access to a list with all the applications and processes of the system that are running . In addition, it shows us a good amount of information, such as the consumption of computer resources that is carried out in real time. In fact, here we can see multiple processes corresponding to the aforementioned Chrome, and we may not understand the reason.
What are the different processes that Chrome creates
Especially in old equipment or somewhat limited in terms of specifications, we must take special care in the execution of certain programs. Otherwise, we may experience certain malfunctions or even crashes when working with our computer. All this is generally due to excessive consumption of elements such as RAM or CPU. Hence, the Task Manager is an important element to be able to monitor all this.
If we focus on the search giant’s browser, when it is running we see several open processes . At the same time, each of them independently is carrying out a certain consumption of resources in real time. Well, at this point we must bear in mind that Google Chrome is made up of various elements that could be considered independent, even though they are part of the program.
Here we talk about elements as important as the different extensions that we have installed in the program and that are working. Likewise, certain tabs from which we open also generate their own independent processes, just like incognito windows, to which we add other internal threads of Chrome itself that are reflected in the aforementioned Task Manager. The sum of the whole set sometimes shows us a consumption of RAM memory and CPU that is too high, hence the complaints of many users .
In addition, these processes that appear on the screen will help you understand the care that we have mentioned on more than one occasion, that we must have with the extensions and tabs to optimize the operation of the browser.
