Chrome is really slow on my laptop

[Pkron17]

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.

do you just have one tab open when it happens or multiple tabs?

It happens no matter how many tabs I have.

have you tried disabling all your extensions or maybe go into safe mode to see if they are causing the problem?
