Does Chrome work on old computers?

Can I use Chrome without a Google account?
Absolutely. While signing in offers syncing benefits, you can use Chrome fully without any Google account. Simply don't sign in when prompted.
Why does Chrome use so much memory?
Chrome uses a multi-process architecture where each tab runs separately for stability and security. This uses more RAM but prevents one tab from crashing the entire browser. Enable Memory Saver to reduce usage.
