    this is false assumption ...

    the high usage is because chrome is using your free ram to store cache

    Whether your RAM is full of cached files or completely empty, it's all available for programs that really need it. Cached data in your RAM is marked as low-priority, and it's instantly discarded as soon as the memory is needed for something else. Because this data can be instantly discarded when necessary, there's no disadvantage to using the RAM for cache. (The one potential disadvantage is users who don't understand what's going on becoming confused.)

    මාත් ඔය ප්‍රශ්නේ සහ security & Privacy අවුල් නිසාම Chrome එකෙන් Firefox එකට මාරු උනා...
