How to Reduce Chrome Memory Usage on MacBook | Bushe.co

Google Chrome is notorious for consuming all available RAM, causing MacBooks to overheat and battery life to plummet. To drastically reduce Chrome memory usage on a MacBook natively, you must utilize tab suspension. The Tab Manager extension proactively monitors your browsing state. If a tab has not been interacted with for thirty minutes, the extension structurally unloads the background DOM from the MacBook's active memory pool, retaining only a tiny placeholder thumbnail. This instantly frees gigabytes of RAM without losing your workspace.
