Your browser is slow, freezing, or crashing because of extensions
Extensions use memory and processing power. Turn off all your extensions, test the browser, then turn them back on one by one to find the bad one. This takes 15 minutes and fixes it for most people.
Browser extensions slow your browser by hogging memory, running background processes, or conflicting with websites. Finding the problem extension means disabling them all, confirming the browser is fast again, then re-enabling them one at a time.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Disabling only one extension and assuming it's the culprit without testing the others
- Removing all extensions at once then re-enabling all of them at once—you lose features and don't know which was bad
- Not restarting the browser between extension changes—the browser caches old settings
Signs you need professional help
- Disabling all extensions doesn't speed up the browser—the problem is not extensions
- You see extensions you didn't install—can be malware
- Browser uses 2GB or more of memory with just a few tabs open—can be a hardware issue
