The more RAM you consume using other software, the RAM usage by Yandex may decrease. I suspect it uses more when there is more memory available as an optimisation trick (the Chromium engine and not specifically Yandex) because reading data from memory is much faster than constantly re-fetching it from disk via reading file contents. Not to mention if encryption or other security techniques are applied to configuration files on-disk, decryption and un-locking routines each time would affect performance.a whole 465 mb?
lets just say i went overboard with the extensions but hey, what's 16GB RAM for?
You can try Smart HTTPSAfter removing HTTPS Everywhere it is 279 MB.
But i like HTTPS Everywhere.Any alternative for HTTPS Everywhere?

Possibly a memory leak. Restart the Chrome session regularly, don't keep the same active session for 8 days.Don't know about now, but this can be tested. I ran Chrome open and busy for 24/7 for extended boots, and without fail it would run the memory in Windows 7 into the ground after 8 days. This is on a PC using 8 GB. Chrome would lead the way, and all other apps would follow.
I was using the PC for other things frequently during this time. But it was the same thing probably a dozen times in a row when I tested this. Also, it is relentless. For me, with as many tests as I ran, it was clear that there wasn't at least last year, top end management of Chrome for W7 at least.
Firefox, on the other hand, uses more memory early, but resists crashing the system memory with an error. It fights on the top end to stay in the 70-80% range to stay there. Chrome will take the system straight to 100%...slowly. Still, Firefox is only in this scenario comfortable to use for about 5 days. Chrome actually about the same because when system gets up into the 70% range+, PC sort of bogs down for me.
Very specific scenario, where PC is basically running video constantly. I was amazed at how precisely the crash would come at 8 days with Chrome.
The Firemin app (meant for Firefox) is kind of interesting to take a look at, and it can be used for I think up to 3 apps at a time. It's brutal, though, but definitely worth a look for experimentation sake...
Besides the ram usage (that I dont care much) I noticed that Chrome 65 seems to have some delay while opening and closing tabs, I noticed too that the scroll stops for a little bit in some sites, it is annoying.
Never had this problems before and tried in two different machines ...
Well if the memory is reaching 8GB and causing your system to crash because it's running out of memory when you aren't using so many extensions or tabs to do this, then it's obviously not freeing memory somewhere and thus it is getting larger over a large period of time. Sometimes I may use even 10 or more tabs and leave them there for hours but the memory never ever reaches an amount like 8GB, for me it is usually a max of 1.3GB RAM.@Opcode, this was just a test. I was using the PC for other things while I tested a good bit of the time. I wouldn't call this a leak, personally. I think it was more that the app is simply not engineered to run for those long periods of time. I mean from a memory usage perspective.
Vetry good idea but very difficult to realize...Even i was facing performance issue like this.I removed chrome and installed firefox. Much better now
