SUMMARY

The recent update to Google Chrome version 91.0.4472.114 on Ubuntu 20.04 has caused significant CPU and memory usage issues, with users reporting up to 100% CPU utilization and complete memory consumption. This problem appears to be linked to the stable release of Chrome, as users have found relief by switching to the beta version.

Firefox is also good, but working with google account easily with google product chrome. All memory issue mostly occur because of using chrome extension plus one or more google account ( there where create google workspace).
