How to make Chrome eat less CPU? Or what other browser to use on the terminal server?

There is a Hyper-V host: Xeon 1230v2, 24GB RAM. Among other things, it runs a virtual machine with Remote Desktop Services (Windows Server 2012 R2). All the work of users of this terminal server takes place in the browser, which (now) is Google Chrome. The problem is that with only 17 users, Chrome spawns more than a hundred processes with our use ( pastebin.com/Y7kgTNNq not to be unfounded). CPU utilization is constantly 99%, the rest of the VMs barely move, the RAM is also completely consumed. And soon it is planned to increase the number of users of this terminal up to 40.
How to make Chrome more careful about system resources? Or maybe you should look towards replacing it with some other browser? If so, which one? The usage profile of the average user is as follows: a dozen tabs, static graphics + text, a couple of working resources require flash support. IE11 is not supported.
In general, I will listen to your advice.

In general, IE is best (yes, I see that it is not supported, but maybe support should be added?), because. it is controlled through policies.
Everyone has already said about chrome, but I would advise you to look towards Opera

Chrome spawns over a hundred processes
this is not a bug, but a feature for spreading processes across cores
in general, no way, you can disable various unnecessary options in the chrome settings, but this is not a panacea
chrome://components/
chrome://plugins/
chrome://chrome-urls/
