chrome isworking slow on my Macbook Air M2

Everything else is working fine, but Google Chrome is running very slowly. The response time for every action is around 4-5 seconds, and sometimes it takes even longer. This sluggish performance has become quite noticeable and is impacting the overall browsing experience. If anyone has experienced a similar issue or has any suggestions on how to improve Chrome's speed, I would greatly appreciate your insights.

Use the Activity Monitor application and make sure to use View >> View All Processes 


What process or processes are using the Most CPU and Memory.


Also, it depends on the number of  Open Tabs in your Chrome Browser, they can also affect CPU / Memory Usage.


Often times - the issue maybe not a single Process  alone but a combination of Processes


Also, when the computer is using so much CPU / Memory - it can be an indicator of a Lack Of Empty Spaces on the Drive.


In which case, the CPU and Memory usage would become much more because it is searching for Empty Space to save all the Changes the user is performing.

Yes it's only IP linked, but if you ever have guests use your wireless network (even with their own devices) you will find Google Adsense advertisements appear as a result of that IP address tracking. It's one more piece of their digital representation of you — at least what they consider "you" — and the "you" they sell to anyone willing to pay for it.


Google is very good at what they do. What they do is creepy.

Haha! That is so true!


I guess the reason it doesn't concern me overly much is if you're online in any way, you're being tracked. Literally all the time with a cell phone (unless you power it down). All Internet traffic goes through the NSA's computers. Even this conversation. If you're on a library's computer, you can clear your history when you're done, but not your activity.


The Internet has made the world a marketer's paradise of information. Google just happens to be better at it than anyone else.
