Chrome Running Slow

Google Chrome, a web browser built for speed, simplicity, and security, runs terribly slow if I leave Chrome on for a several hours. It's like it is using a lot of memory though it is not. Tabs are very slow to load or switch between. CPU and RAM usage both appear to be normal. If I reboot Ubuntu entirely and then open Chrome, it runs fine. Editing /etc/nsswitch.conf made no difference. Hardware acceleration is on. Google Chrome Version 47.0.2526.106 (64-bit).

This seems to a bug with hardware acceleration and you can see the slowness when tab switching.

go to chrome://settings/?search=hardware

Disable hardware acceleration since it doesn't help:

Once I also faced the same problem. I searched for why Chrome is slow. My situation:

• Chrome is not updated
• Newly installed Ubuntu
• Hardware acceleration is enabled

Here is a solution to this problem:

• Update your Chrome

  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get upgrade

• Disable hardware acceleration chrome://settings/?search=hardware
