Why is Chrome terribly slow on Linux?

Question

Google Chrome

Starting with version 33 (I noticed this quite clearly), Chrome began to slow down a lot. Eats an average of 700 MB per tab (I saw a maximum of 2.5 GB), occasionally freezes tightly and completely, which has never happened before.
Is there any cure this time? On the Internet, it is often suggested to enable GPU acceleration on this occasion, but I already have it enabled, everything is green on the chrome://gpu page . So that's not the point.
In fact, I'm pretty sure Flash is the problem. Last time it was proposed to switch to the system Flash, until now Adobe has stopped updating it and at the moment the latest system version is 11.2 versus 12.0 of the Chrome PepperFlash. So don't know :(
FireFox don't offer

Answer 1

On Linux, the only use case for flash is chrome. There are no alternatives.
On the other hand, it was your choice to use X on Linux.

Answer 2

I often hear a similar question, and I always advise, I think, and myself first of all endure Unity with Compiz .. and everything is fine. Chrome is not to blame, it's all about the environment

Answer 3

Faced a couple of times. It is on flash content.
I nail chrome and all its processes. I start over again. Everything is stabilizing.

Answer 4

Perhaps these slowdowns are related to the shell (Unity, Gnome, KDE) - in the latest versions there are problems when working with the video card. Try Xubuntu.

Answer 5

What is most interesting, in the next topic about moving from XP, everyone immediately began to advise Linux, but when real problems appear, they immediately offer to change the distribution kit or DE - what if the problem is solved?

Answer 6

In OS X, the same nonsense. :(

Answer 7

What difference does it make to you in the Flash version? It is being updated, a new version was released not so long ago, but all these are security fixes, and features in the majority and with 11.2 will be enough for you.
