Google Chrome Consuming Too Much Ram On Windows? - Fix It Up Here

  Google chrome is one of the most used browser for both Mobile device and desktop. This is just so because of the expected performance of the browser. It's a simple software that works very fine, except that it has a particular problem which is the issue of over consumption of excess RAM.
BUT WHY IS THIS SO ?
* You will know in the next paragraph.

Why Does Google Chrome Have High RAM Usage?

  As i said earlier on ;the only downside is that the RAM consumption is very high and resource consumption is large, this is because it saves each tab, every extension, as well as all plugin’s as different processes in RAM. This is known as the process of “isolation”. This is done to increase speed and stability. Particular processes for each element never get killed. And even if one element crashes, the rest of the browser keeps working stably.

How To Fix Google Chrome Using Too Much RAM.

Follow with care the two major methods that you can use to fix up google chrome using too much RAM. Follow through carefully to improve/boost your chrome performance during internet surfing.

First Method:- Chrome’s Task Manager.

A lot of users do not know the fact that there is a task manager built right into Chrome that handles the processes running by the browser. Here’s how to access it on different operating systems.

• Now, For windows : “Shift +Esc” .
• For MAC : “Windows Menu” .

From here you can disable the unnecessary processes and fix Google Chrome using too much RAM.

Second Method:- Tab Discarding.

This method to fix Google Chrome uses too much RAM is a little pro. What this setting will do is discard the tabs users have not used in a while to save RAM.

To enable Tab Discarding, follow the step below:

In your address bar, type 

chrome://flags/#enable-tab-discarding

• Hit Enter.

Click “Enable” under the entry for “Enable Tab Discarding” .

Now, you know how to fix it ,let others also know, share with your friends.
If you face any challenge drop your comments.
 Thanks!

One Of The World's Strongest Power bank - Check It Out!

Am introducing to you today one of the best(if not the best power bank created so far) in the whole universe tested and proved as a quality one.

When it comes to the capacity of power it's fully loaded with 100,000mAh. It has Quick Charge 3.0 support and a maximum output power of up to 18W, also, features 220V AC and 12V/19V DC outlets as well as four USB ports, giving users the option to recharge small consumer electronics devices or use the powerbank as a UPS for more power-hungry electronics.

The power bank which is named "MOUPS" power bank was designed and created by "Orico" - a Chinese consumer electronics company. According the company they claim that the Orico MOUPS units are powerful enough to be used as portable uninterrupted power supplies (UPS) for radios, TVs, notebooks and other similar devices.

As for the MOUPS’ design, this is clearly not a power bank that's designed to be put in one’s pockets, but then again, this is not a conventional power bank in the first place but was instead meant to serve as a traveler’s pack and it most likely carries some weight given its large battery capacity, though it also comes with a strap that should facilitate carrying and handling as seen below.👇👇

The most interesting thing about this gadget is that it comes with a 36W solar charging board that that acts as its power source , though it come with extra cost, so you don't need to soly depend on electricity before you can recharge it when it runs down....I think this is really cool enough.

The price is around $150 - $180,that's if it hasn't been reduced. And the solar panel cost $65 - $70.

It's now time to hear from you guys, what's you say about this Orico MOUPS mighty power bank??...drop your comment below💬 and also share this post.

I can't appreciate you guys enough, thanks for being here !.
