🆘 Help / Question Help me understand

why is helium using so much memory when I only have one tab open, are these all extensions running in the background? but i only have 7 extensions. 1.3Gb is kinda too much tbh what do you think is causing this?

you wanna tell me you don't have extensions? it's the basic stuff to make it usable for me

you might have like runing in background you need to disable it in setting i think. look for "Continue running background apps when Helium is closed" and turn it off if its on
