Thank you for the Activity Monitor image above


But what else is running in Activity Monitor


What appears in your image is only a snap shot of some running Applications /Services


Suggest using Activity Monitor >> View >> View ALL Processes


Example, am running Safari ( NO additional Tabs ) , Notes, Mail and Activity Monitor

Thank you for the above


Often times - the issue maybe not actually be a single process alone but a combination of Processes


From what is presented, there are 7 instances of Google Chrome and associated process running including the

" Renderer " and " Helper " processes


If you look at the Memory Used in each of the above mentioned processes it ranges from the low of 426 MB and gets t progressively greater in each other process.


Then there is the question of the number of Open Tabs in your Browser, they can also affect Memory Usage.


Seems the solution maybe:


1 - use a less Memory intensive Browser like Google Chrome

2- Limit the number of instances of Google Chrome from running

3 - Limit the number of Open Tab in Chrome
