    I was wondering if Google uses a lot of RAM memory and if I had a lot of tabs open would it pose a problem to the speed of my apps?

      Not in my opinion, no more than any other browser. How much RAM does your system have currently?

      Some call the Chrome browser “Google”. Here you should tell us what you think Google is.

      As to browsers I don’t see much difference from Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Opera and so on. So no to the speed of the apps question.

      That’s easy to check.
      Do something with, say, 10 tabs in Chrome. Than do exactly the same in Firefox, Opera and Edge. Compare the RAM use in Task Manager. Also check the effect of putting tabs into “sleep state” (see https://www.urban-vpn.com/blog/how-to-put-your-browser-tabs-to-sleep/ ).

      And what “apps” are running while you browse that might be slower due to your use of the browser? Moreover, computers due to having “virtual memory” are much better in multi-tasking then computers.
