Is Chrome slowing down your PC even when you're not actively using it? In this video, I show you exactly which Chrome settings to disable — and which ones to enable — to free up RAM, reduce CPU usage, and make your entire system feel faster.

What you'll learn in this video:
• How to see exactly how much RAM Chrome is really using
• How to stop Chrome from running in the background after you close it
• How to enable Memory Saver to free up RAM from inactive tabs
• How Energy Saver reduces Chrome's CPU usage automatically
• The truth about graphics acceleration — when to keep it on and when to turn it off
• How to clean up extensions that silently multiply Chrome's processes

And in the next update, Google will just re-enable these settings.

Energy saver is only for laptops. Although unplugging your computer would save 100% of your memory.

How about ditch Chrome and use Brave instead.

Which version chrome do you use? I looks like this video was created a year ago :-(

You should focus on Windows 11 AI settings. And the AI settings on browsers. This effectively slows down everything as it required background processing.

Note: the "Power" option will not appear for computers without a battery, i.e., desktops.

BTW, in Brave, the memory saver option is in "System" as there is no "Performance" section for settings.

Lorsque tu as un egpu performant, il n est pas utile de garder le paramètre de la carte graphique sur ton portable (Nvidia et plus rarement AMD ou INTEL).
On fera de réelle économie. Pourquoi un navigateur aurait-il besoin de ta carte graphique juste pour afficher des pages?
