Oh, and to give an example by providing screenshots of my task manager results on the bottom of this reply. The Brave Task Manager shows all the processes running in Brave as I checked it, as well as how much of my CPU and all it’s using. Part of what’s there was cached pages for if I hit Back to go to it. Otherwise had the open tab, my extensions, the processes needed for graphics and sound, etc. Lots of little things.
And you’ll notice that on Windows, it was showing my Memory usage at 45%, which primarily came from Brave.
The title of the topic is a bit of a misnomer, but you may find the this article interesting and a bit educational to read: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/chrome-using-much-ram-fix-right-now/
