Google Chrome is used as the primary browser by more than 50 percent of people globally, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have some issues. Many people struggle with how slow the browser can become over time.

Chrome slows down for any number of reasons.Your Internet speed could be slower than usual, or there might be geographic barriers preventing you from getting a solid signal. That’s one common cause of slow speeds.

Why is Chrome So Slow?

Most people who experience significant problems with Chrome’s speed are on a computer. However, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that a mobile user might need to make a few changes to speed up Chrome as well.

If you aren’t ready to lose some of the tabs you have open, create bookmarks so you may go back and find them when you need them.It’s more secure than just pinning tabs anyway since you can lose those when Chrome experiences a fault or shuts down.

you may always just select the star in the address bar to add a site to favorites. However, there’s another way to do it, too, which might give you more organizational control.
