I rarely if ever use Chrome, but I have it handy. My habit is to use Safari, since I have to support it for others, until it makes me mad, then I use FireFox.
I launched Chrome just now to see if I had the same problem, but no. It doesn't seem to eat any resources while its just sitting on a simple page. Chrome v. 19.0.1084.56 OS X 10.7.4 .Jerry On Jun 23, 2012, at 2:51 PM, Peter Haworth wrote: > For some time now, I have been noticing massive activity on my wireless > router for a few minutes several times a day.
