Chrome has some overhead with a lot of isolated processes. It's also not the lightest web browser. But 2GB of ram is not much nowadays. While it's what you have on your laptop, or a brand new MacBook pro, 8GB is also what you have on a common high end smartphone in 2021, and some even have 12 to 16gb of ram. But unlike iOS or Android, Mac OS is not very good at managing ram because it's based on an older model where it can't really close apps or background services when necessary. My advice would be to stop using Chrome or getting a laptop with at least 16gb of ram, preferably 32.
