Windows 10: How to stop ads in google/chrome that use a lot of cpu cycles

I have a logitech mouse and keyboard combo that is very sensitive to background cpu usage. Google/Chrome ads are particularly infamous for this, at least in a couple sites that I visit pretty much every day. I don't have any problem with Google making money from ads, but when the mouse and keyboard are impacted, it has a huge impact on my productivity. I've searched Google for how to accomplish this, but their instructions take you to page after page and eventually I always end up with a step that I don't understand how to do, or often it gets me back to where I started.


Can someone give me an idea how to manage this?


Thanks. SweetTasha.

problem uninstalling google chrome

Hi,

Since you already uninstalled Google Chrome using the Programs and Features, Google notifications may still be running in the background processes. We suggest that you follow these steps on how to end the Google Chrome process:

• On your keyboard, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
• Select Task Manager.
• Under Processes, locate Google Notifications or Google Chrome.
• Right click on them and select End Task.
• Double check under Programs and Features if Google Chrome is completely gone.

Let us know if these steps worked.

 

Google Chrome not using outrageous amount of CPU lately with Windows

Not sure this is relevant to this forum, but a few months ago, using Google Chrome had a lot of people wondering why the hell Chrome was using so much CPU. Opening up Task Manager it would show 12 instances of Chrome and my CPU was going crazy with CPU usage. Anyways, I'm not sure anyone here had that happening, but as of late it has stopped. I'm not sure if this is due to Windows 10 updates allaying that ridiculous use of Chrome CPU usage or if Google finally realized it and put a stop to it. The usual suggestions had to do with closing Chromes unnecessary apps and all that, but I don't think that was the problem to begin with. I had bookmarks but not very many Chrome apps. I know this isn't a Chrome forum, but thank god that issue got corrected, either due to Windows 10 or Google Chrome techs. Also, I'd relate this in an active Google Chrome forum, but I can't find any. I doubt Google Chrome has an active forum to participate in. Please reply if you know of an ACTIVE Google Chrome forum OUTSIDE of Google.
