While intended to speed things up, these data accumulate and clog the browser over time. &nbsp;To clear them, go to the <span class=\"c5\">Chrome menu &gt; More tools &gt; Clear browsing data<\/span>. You can opt to clear all of them or just a select few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-disable-plugins\">Disable Plugins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"c1\">Plug-ins help Chrome handle certain content. Some plug-ins are always active in Chrome, but others remain dormant most of the time and can slow the browser down. Chrome plug-ins can be found and disabled by typing <span class=\"c5\">about:plugins <\/span>in the address bar and pressing Enter. Some of the plug-ins you can probably do without include Java, Chrome Remote Desktop Viewer, Microsoft Office and Silverlight. You can always re-enable plug-ins back if something goes wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-disable-extensions\">Disable Extensions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"c1\">Because of Chrome&#8217;s minimalist design, users often install extensions for enhanced features. However, the increase in the browser&#8217;s efficiency and convenience can be taxing to its performance. Only install extensions that you really need, and uninstall or disable the others. Type <span class=\"c5\">about:extensions <\/span>in the address bar and see all your extensions. Uncheck the Enabled checkbox of a particular extension to disable it, or click the Trashcan icon to remove it entirely from Chrome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-disable-settings\">Disable Settings<strong><a name=\"h.gjdgxs\"><\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"c1\">Some settings that are meant to improve Chrome&#8217;s overall performance can actually cause more problems. Try disabling these two settings under <span class=\"c5\">Chrome menu &gt; Settings &gt; Show advanced settings<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"c4 lst-kix_list_1-0 start wp-block-list\"><li class=\"c1 c7\"><span class=\"c6\">Use hardware acceleration when available<\/span><\/li><li class=\"c0\"><span class=\"c6\">Automatically send usage statistics and crash reports to Google<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Though designed to be very fast, Google Chrome can be awfully slow over time.
