I'm using selenium on python 3.5 with chrome webdriver on a ububtu vps, and when I run a very basic script (navigate to site, enter login fields, click), memory usage goes up by ~400mb,and cpu usage goes up to 100%. Are there any things I can do to lower this, or if not, are there any alternatives?
I'm testing out selenium in python but I plan to do a project with it in java, where memory usage is a critical factor for me, so the same question applies for java as well.
Don't forget drive.close() in your code , if you don't close your driver, you will have a lot instance of Chrome.
Selenium using too much memory
