How to convert Google Chrome into a lightweight browser?

Posted on April 3, 2020

Google chrome is consuming a large part of your system’s RAM. It makes slower your computer and I’m facing this issue for a very long time. So, is there anyone who can help me or suggest the way by which I can reduce the total RAM used by chrome and make my pc run fast?

Hi there @pratibha91pj,

If you are not happy with Chrome due to the high memory usage, I could suggest trying a different browser, for example, you could consider:

  • Chromium
  • Opera
  • Vivaldi

They all are great and lightweight browsers.

Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
