Chrome keeps going crazy

[John Aldrich]

I keep a half dozen tabs open in Chrome at most times, and sometimes when I 
open another tab, it seems like Chrome goes crazy and the system almost hangs. 
Usually I'm able to get to a console prompt and kill all Chrome sessions and 
things calm down for awhile. Any idea what's going on? I'm running Fedora 20 
64-bit, XFCE/KDE. I've got 4 Gigs of RAM (I know, not a whole lot, but it's 
all that will fit on this motherboard.) The CPU is an Athlon X2 and I've got a 
GigE to my switch and a 100 Meg link to the router.

For myself I have tried Chrome on Fedora....(18.....19.....and 20) and 
it's always acted a bit buggy/glitchy....so I've avoided it. I think 
there are enough "tabbing" browsers out there that I shouldn't have to 
be trapped with one that's temperamental. There's 
Epiphany......Midori.....Icedove even! LoL!

Have you tried another browser?
I am using F20 XCFE 64bit but with 
firefox. I have 3GB RAM. Everything runs ok. I have used Chrome in the 
past with mixed results. Are those six tabs perhaps running a lot of 
flash? Do you have any plugins running for Chrome? Have you tried 
disabling them?
