Virtual desktops and Chrome browser

[Carsomyr]

lately I heard that it is possible to use Virtual desktops to lighten the load on chrome. I have 32gb of ddr4 ram and peak at 19gb of usage at any given time when I work (multiple chrome tabs required for work at home)

Sometimes I get the error "out of memory" for some tabs... and its no related to ram, I suspect its related to the app I run on chrome itself. So I heard I can use virtual desktops to split the load althoguh I'm not sure I understand how. I use multiple monitors and need access to all chrome tabs across the "virtual desktops"

so how would I set this up, and would it indeed help chrome's performance. here's a screenshot of the person's comment I saw on reddit recently that made me aware of this idea:

and link to reddit thread. I'm running into the same problem as that person there, but in the chrome browser (I suspect this would also happen on the tv desktop app)

Also would like to mention these problems only started about 2 days ago and I suspect they come from a recent tradingview "cloud software" update they did on their end or something like that. I'm only looking into this because I can't afford to have my chrome tabs crashing 5-10 times a day...

So I heard I can use virtual desktops to split the load althoguh I'm not sure I understand how.

Probably because that makes no sense. The virtual desktop feature is just that. It emulates having multiple monitors. I use it all the time to sort various projects but there is no “load balancing” to speak of. You can access it by pressing win+tab and simply dragging a program too it.

If you do suspect this is somehow related to chrome and its process you can always right click on your shortcut and spawn an entirely new process.

Or simply run your trade window from a different browser.

If you're fine with tab reloading there's a memory saver option in chrome these days. It should help free up memory from background/inactive tabs also could solve this problem you're facing. There's other ways to force it to use less RAM but that's the default/better one right now.

Try adding a Chrome extension. I use Auto Tab Discard and it works fairly well.

I don't see how this makes sense unless the person was really referring to Virtual Machines. If I remember correctly if you install Hyper-V you can run additional desktops (virtual machines) in Windows 10.

That comment itself is awfully wrong through, VM or any form of hypervisor will increase the load on your system. Didn't read in what context that was mentioned but totally unnecessary over there.

I was just gonna mention this, facts are so contrary to OP.

thanks for the replies. for the life of me I can'T figure out why I've started having issues with tradingview.com on multiples tabs... I believe the problem must be on their end because I keep getting the "error code: out of memory" crash on both chrome and edge web browser and it only started doing that 2 days ago... without any changes to my configuration, or components ....
