Nothing on chrome://apps or chrome://extensions?

I started using uBlock Origin because of how much slower adblock was making chrome for me. Might be the adblocker. Remove it and test again?

Create an HTML doc with just <h1>Hi</h1>. Then close chrome and open that file. See how many processes you have then.

Something to think of.

Probably nothing, all browsers love to have a ton of subprocess

Firefox (0 Tabs open, 0 Extensions) - 5 Total Processes
[Image: c81a5fc61e603178f431d208b184fce4.png]


Opera [Chromium Based Browser] (17 Tabs, 6 Extensions [17+6=23]) - 27 Total processes

I have that as well even if I have only one tab open, it's nothing to worry about.

My browser has a ton of instances. This is normal as most browsers are running background apps and scripts and extensions definitely add to that list.

I don't believe so. Maybe mirror the chrome installation with another machine and compare. I believe its because of how chrome runs multiple things. Which is why I suggested the HTML page. It shouldn't load any extra extensions. Which should be minimal instances.

Shift + Tab on Chrome will give you each process and what it does
