Although Google Chrome boasts a great reputation among its users and fantastic compatibility with hundreds of extensions and exceptional performance, it also has some unexplained faults in versions as advanced as the latest ones.
The problem is none other than a excessive consumption of CPU resources by the browser that can be seen triggered at rest with peaks of up to 50%, something on the other hand quite strange.
According to a user's report, we can read:
En el último par de semanas, el ventilador de mi MacBook Pro se ha vuelto loco: Se activa de repente y ruge como un jet despegando. Abrí el Monitor de actividad para ver lo que estaba pasando con mi CPU y pude comprobar como los procesos auxiliares en Google Chrome consumen hasta el 50 por ciento o más de mis recursos de CPU. ¿Hay algo que yo pueda hacer al respecto?
Really there is no direct solution to this problem rather than waiting for it to be solved in successive versions of the browser, but for now if you are still determined to use it, you can carry out some actions that will help you in the task of freeing up CPU load.
Iremos al menú de Chrome> Preferencias> Extensiones y desactivaremos las extensiones de las que no tenemos una necesidad imperiosa de uso. En esta misma ventana haremos clic en Configuración y en Mostrar opciones avanzadas, luego entraremos en configuración del área de Privacidad y en el área de extensiones que aparece, activaremos la opción Hacer clic para reproducir.
Once this is done, we will go back to the activity monitor and verify that the consumption of resources has actually been reduced. Anyway as I have already commented, this goes through a temporary solution and something annoying until the Chrome team updates the program.
