This seems to be an old approach.

I have hardware disabled for years, but still had a massive problem. Just tried turning it back on and it now works a treat on Amazon and phots.google.com – previously it was unusable,

Hi, the game I play online needs hardware acceleration.
I have two extensions again for the game I play but are not needed during game play. Is it enough to disable them during game play then able them again afterwards or do the extensions need to be deleted to have any effect?

I was having this issue on my macbook. I couldn’t figure out what was causing it. I would force close Google Chrome Helper and CPU usage would drop significantly. Sometime later, CPU usage would be up again. I would force close GCH again. At some point, I realized any Amazon.com pages I had open were not working. So now when I’m done shopping on Amazon.com. I close the window. I no longer have high CPU usage and constant fan running(not to mention fast battery drain), except when I have an Amazon.com window open. I have Honey coupon and Capital One coupon extensions on Chrome and don’t know if they’re the root cause of the problem. I like them and don’t want to get rid of them. They don’t affect any other websites I shop on. I feel it is the Amazon.com windows I leave open. At least for me it is. I usually have about 40-50 windows open. Lol

In reply to Conrad67. Hi Conrad, if you click on 3 dots more options and hover on the More Tools menu, you will see the Task Manager menu. Click to Chrome Task Manager app to understand the Extension memory utilization.

“Find the extensions that directly influence the CPU and other elements of your device.”
Q: How do I tell which extensions directly overutilize the CPU??
