What I do, when Chrome, or rather, my abuse of it (14 windows, 735 tabs at the moment, Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit on a 32 GiB system) becomes onerous is to go to the task manager and kill groups of tabs taking up &quot;too much&quot; memory, and very occasionally, too much CPU.<p>(I get away with that abuse, which it a <i>bit</i> higher right now because I&#x27;m in the process of buying a house, by killing <i>all</i> tabs after launching, and only enabling the ones I want, one by one, using the essential to me Session Buddy.)
