No currently known solutions
Google Chrome Slowing Down
The most common reason for this would be because you have too many plugins and/or extensions running and occasionally from too much browsing history. Disabling Plugins
- Navigate to chrome://plugins
- Click "Disable" on any plugins you don't need.
Disable Extensions
- If your extensions are on your Chrome address bar, right-click them and select "Disable".
- You can also disable them from a "New Tab Page" using the same method.
- Alternatively, if you click the Settings (wrench) button, and go to Tools > Extensions, you can disable them from here too.
Clear Browsing History If the above two haven't worked, you could also clear your browsing history.
- Click on the Settings (wrench) button and go Tools > Clear browsing data...
- You can then choose how much you want to delete from here.
