Is this a common problem with Chrome?

My Windows 7 PC hasn't been rebooted in 67 days. It doesn't hibernate or sleep. It just blanks the monitor. I have had chrome open pretty much straight through 50 of the 67 days with out closing it and having at time up to 20 tabs open. Not even a hiccup here and I only have a low end 2.13GHZ Core 2 Duo and 4GB of RAM.

I've had so many issues with Chrome recently. Things not working right, html5 content not showing up. Having to refresh pages to get them to load. A lot of our clients have noticed the same thing. But the processes thing doesn't bug me. Each extension and tab is on their own process. Occasionally some will be grouped together. I personally keep about 50-80 tabs open on my desktop and 10-30 on my phone. I do so much research on stuff.

Am I alone here thinking that having all these tabs (11+)open are a bad idea ?
I'm always telling customers to keep the number of open tabs down.
When I'm finished with a tab, I always close it.

The way I look at it....I paid for the additional memory in my computer, I want to use it, I want to get my moneys worth.

I often have over a dozen tabs open. One of the (many many) reasons I love Chrome so much.....it's so dang stable, and if 1x tab is on a site that makes it go down, the rest of the browser is stable.

I see lots of people love the fact that their system has so much RAM....but then they bum out so much if their system is using it.
It's like purchasing a car with an 8 cylinder engine...why limit yourself to using just 2 or 4 cylinders...I bought 8...I intend on using all 8 for everything its worth! I call it "getting my moneys worth!".

Now...if you have some old single core P4 or hyper/thread, or Celeron, with a slow HDD, and only a gig or two of RAM...yeah...you need to conserve resources...limit those tabls.

Yep, I see it too. When I need to kill Chrome, I have to manually end each of those tasks. Dang plug in extensions!

To comment on the number of tabs being used...I work in a NOC and I routinely have 15+ tabs open in Chrome and my machine still performs fine (i3 w/8 gigs of RAM). As long as the machine can handle it, having a ton of tabs open at the same time shouldn't cause an issue.

I use Glary utilities, has a portable version, it seems to cause less problems overall. Last time I used ccleaner on a customers computer it broke quickbooks pro.

That's funny you say that, this just happened to a customer yesterday. After he ran CCleaner Quickbooks Premiere 2012 would start to open & then just close before the company file login screen would appear.

I was able to repair it from add/remove programs. I checked my version of CCleaner & it doesn't even have a Quickbooks section under applications even though Quickbooks is installed on my computer.

I've seen that happen when .net gets damaged.
