Chrome will need more memory

Which is the web browser you usually use?

Window equips Microsoft Edge as the default browser, as the successor of Internet Explorer. Safari is the same position in Mac. But surprisingly, the majority uses Google Chrome on the computer.


Chrome is my favorite browser though I also use Edge, Firefox, and Safari. In recent months, the majority of the viewers of my blog uses Chrome as well.

One of the Chrome's advantages is high synchronicity with Google services. You can run Google Search, Gmail, Calendar, and many other programs on Chrome. Each of them is essential for many users.

However, there is a significant disadvantage in Chrome. Chrome consumes large memory of the PC. The magnitude is much bigger than that of other web browsers as several tests suggest.

Furthermore, Google announced that the latest update would require more memory for a security reason. It is a nightmare for users of an old PC.

Forbes: Google Chrome Has A Nasty Surprise

Android is often said to have a shorter life than iOS. On an aged Android tablet, programs run sluggishly. The main reason seems to be the high occupancy of memory. Perhaps programmers in Google are not good at an efficient use of memory.

Nonetheless, I will continue to use Chrome mainly. There are still many reasons to keep it in the center of PC activity.
