Via htop, I noticed that Chrome is using 100% of a CPU.
I would like to find out what process in chrome uses that much CPU. This answer suggests using SHIFT+Esc to open the task mananger. There, however, I find nothing of significance:
What's the reason for this?
For sure your top/htop doesn't lie, but Chrome is a multi-process/multi-thread application. One process per window and per tab, one for each extension, one for the GPU. Just try ps ax | grep -v grep | grep -i chrome .
The other point is about timing. The time it takes you from a terminal to the web UI of chrome can make the difference. You'd be keeping open both the terminal with htop and the Task manager at the same time.
