The CPU management just lowers the priority of heavy processes. Is that just chrome being open? Latest release?
n
Yep, just Chrome (latest version).
l
Any particular web page?
n
Anything starting with http, apparently. I'm browsing sites I know others would. Google, CNN.com, our intranet, etc.
(http or https... my joke didn't land)
Trend Micro also goes nuts when I launch Chrome for the first time.
l
Interesting. Sounds about right though. Let us know how you get on.
j
Get an ad-blocker
t
Do you have any ad-blocking enabled?
DANG IT! James beat me to it!
j
LOL
n
Nope, no ad-blockers. I wonder if I can get away with throwing uBlock Origin in this. But isn't Chrome going to be removing the ability to use ad blockers in the next release or so?
t
We run Chrome as our default browser in published desktop, with FSLogix, WEM, blah blah blah. We push uBlock Origin, and run ad-blocking at our proxy. Currently have ~6000 Chrome processes running, and topmost CPU is ~8%. (for a single Chrome process, not aggregate for the open browser in the session)
n
Looks like I still have more work to do then. Just sitting at our Intranet page is around 55%, and Google.com at 40%.

n
I didn't see that update from Google, but it sounds like not all ad-blocking companies agree with them. I'll add it and see how testing goes.
Are you guys just running ad-blocker extensions with nothing configured?
j
For Chrome use uBlock Origin https://helgeklein.com/blog/2017/12/browser-ad-blockers-privacy/ for IE you can use a TPL

Although having said that I can't see your internal intranet being linked to hordes of CDNs. 55% CPU on intranet? There's something well wrong there, IMHO
n
We're definitely not doing anything crazy here. Chrome Enterprise, latest x64 build, with only two extensions installed.
j
And it's smashing half the CPU? Is the Google Updater running or something?
n
Nope, updates (services, tasks, GPO settings) are all disabled.
I had closed Chrome to install uBlock Origin, and now it's settling down. That has to be pure coincidence, especially with our intranet page.
j
Unless your web devs have done something weird
d
Procmon? We run a basic Chrome Ent x64 as primary browser in a 2012r2 UPM env and 2016 FSL env, don’t see anything like this I’m afraid.
n
Not seeing anything strange there. IE doesn't seem to fare much better.
n
chrome on my laptop with only cnn.com open uses about 35%
n
The more I test on various devices, the more normal this seems.
j
Chrome on my laptop with 18 tabs is 0.1%
But I use an ad-blocker
If I open CNN it jumps to 10% then settles down
d
Never seen this before 🙄 Chrome on our XenApp server with about 20 processes takes about 5-8 % !
n
This is on W10 1709 VDAs (2 vCPU, 5GB RAM) with uBlock Origin running.
Probably not worth mentioning, but I'm also using App Layering.
j
Any scheduled tasks running?
n
10 or so, but none of them are related to Google, and I don't think any of them are actually CPU intensive.
It depends on the site, from what I've seen. The CPU spikes to 50-60% on the initial load, and settles down in the 15% range for most sites. Sites that are a jumbled mess like MSN.com rake the CPU most of the time.
I'm not terribly worried, though I'm certainly not opposed to helping rein it in a bit.
I've read a few random posts online about people saying Chrome x86 is actually faster than x64 in XD (we're using x64).
Disabling Chrome hardware acceleration via GPO seems to have helped this a bit. MSN is still atrocious, but the rest of the sites I test are reasonable. Memory consumption is through the roof, but I'm hesitant to offload that to pagefile via WEM.
