Hi. I have a Dell XPS 13 9343 with the i7 processor. When I use chrome on some websites, e.g Reddit, it makes my CPU usage jump up to around 80-90% and become very laggy and annoying. I can't find any way to fix this. I am in balanced power mode and have tweaked all of the power settings, but it is still really annoying. Sometimes, chrome is fine. Right now, it is hovering around 10% CPU usage, but if I launch reddit for browsing or TempoStorm.com, it will jump up right to 80%. Any tips?
 


I did a malware and virus scan last week. I do full scans once a month. They both came up clean For extensions, I use HoverZoom, RES, adblock, Better TTV, reddit companion, and the Google drive extensions.
