    The past few days, I've only had a max of 3 tabs open, one on twitter, the other espn, and the last watching brooklyn 99 tv shows. And the memory is spiking for chrome at 4gbs. Then chrome starts locking up and i have to restart chrome. I have the latest version and my computer has 32gb of ram, so i know it's not lack of memory.

    Has anyone else been experiencing this?

    I suggest you switch to another browser like Vivaldi, to see if the same thing happens. In theory it might also be caused by some buggy extension.

    Agreed. I would test another browser. It could be one of the sites. I used to run into sites that would hit 4GB or even more until I applied an ad blocker. That cleared up 90% of the memory usage for that site.
