I think it's some kind of memory leak as well because if I leave Chrome up,
it eventually reaches obscene memory, even for one tab, and often freezes so
I have to use Task Manager to close it.

U am not suffering this problem on any of my systems. All are running
Chrome. Onr is Linux, one is Windows 10, and the third is a Google
Chromebook. Maybe it is not the browser that is the problem..
