Google Chrome is Freezing Intermittently With the Windows 10 April 2018 Update, Users Say (neowin.net)
Several users who have updated their computers to Windows 10 April 2018 Update are reporting that Chrome is freezing their machines. From a report: I have now used the April 2018 Update for nearly 24 hours and the same problem has presented itself no less than five times. For a machine - which was working perfectly prior to the update - with a Core i7 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD, I naturally resorted to Reddit and Microsoft forum threads to see if others were experiencing the issue. It appears that several users on Reddit (spotted by Softpedia) with machines sporting varying configurations are experiencing the problem as well, and the only fix to it is the one I found too; that is, putting the laptop to sleep using the power button or closing the lid.
This would be the first time a microsoft update has caused problems for a rival's products or programs.
Because this would be the first ever recorded such instances I deem it to be highly unlikely.
...so nothing to see here.
And I checked the resource usage, one tab was using 2 gigs of RAM for some reason! ACK!
So you're saying you’re not seeing anything out of the ordinary?

Wait, sounds familiar somehow...
First, I hate Chrome...and the 'new web' with never ending pages. I am not a genius, but when I've been on Reddit for 30 minutes on a never ending page, I think "God, how much RAM is this thing sucking up right now?"
Obviously that is not really Chrome's fault...but the two go hand in hand. The same B-holes that love never ending pages, have a hard-on for Chrome.
As an aside, the new Reddit update has some problems with my account, and I can't load anything anymore. Good riddance.
Second, not sure what you meant regarding your last comment about Microsoft's best interests- But if I owned Microsoft, I would be pretty happy to screw up Google's crap. Google's actions regarding Windows Phone were pitiful. If you think Google gives one crap about users in the world, you're wrong. They were more than happy to break every attempt to get YouTube on Windows Phone- suing Microsoft for an app that was just a web wrapper...
I think Microsoft should just keep breaking Chrome. Google deserves a kick in their testes.
No reason to lie.
Fake news! No crashes. Works perfe
