Chrome slow and memory leak

[pcslookout]

My friend is having a problem with Chrome being really slow and using upwards of 1.3 GB of ram. What should he do ? He never had this problem previously.

I'd try a complete reinstall. Delete everything, and try again.

Ok thanks I will tell him to do that. It may be one of his extensions.

Make sure he deletes his hidden directories also. He'll want to backup any data he wants to keep(bookmarks, passwords...), cause they'll all be gone if he does a complete deletion.
