Please confirm the OS and chrome version details for further triaging. Tagging with canary milestone for further triaging.

What websites are you visiting when you encounter this issue? Do you have any extensions installed, and if so, which ones?

Also, please submit a trace of the bad behavior using these instructions:
https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/submitting-a-performance-bug

Thanks.
It's not a website issue. These Google Chrome Helpers are always running in
the background. It takes up roughly  5-6GB of my Ram, while idle.

Is the concern about CPU usage, memory, or both?

If it's about CPU, it would be helpful to still take a trace when CPU is high and as few tabs as possible are open (ideally only one).
Memory is the primary area of concern. CPU isn't over worked. How do I remove those google helper add ons

Hi boryagodin,

If you're looking for ways to reduce memory usage, you may find this article helpful: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/6152583?hl=en

Unfortunately bugs.chromium.org is a place to submit technical bugs with Chrome, and not a support forum. I understand you are not happy with the amount of memory Chrome is using, but without sending us more information about how the bad behavior is triggered or a memory dump from Chrome itself there is unfortunately very little we can do to resolve the issue.

I'm going to mark the bug as WontFix, but please feel free to provide more actionable information for us if you'd like, and we can reopen the bug.
