Has anyone else had a problem with Chrome where you hard-drive starts seeking (audible noise of it working) and never stops?
I thought turning off the anti-phishing feature would fix it, but I recently got it again. I've seen it happen on both Macs and Windows PCs.

I've also had issues with an instance suddenly using 20-50% of the CPU for no reason. Chrome is now my primary browser, but this one issue has made me consider switching back to Firefox.
- alecthomas 17y agoI don't know if this is your problem, but Chrome on Linux has some memory leaks that occasionally put my 2GB desktop into swap. Luckily I can use the Chrome task manager to find the offending tab and kill it.
