Google will use a new feature of Windows 10 to limit Chrome's RAM usage
With the latest Windows 10 update (May 2020 Update), Microsoft has improved Segment Heap memory management. This feature optimizes the RAM usage of system applications and some other special applications such as the Edge browser. Now, this feature can be applied to the Win32 application, of which Chrome browser is one of them.

Chrome is known as a monster that consumes RAM on the computer.
Microsoft confirms that the Edge browser may be supported by the Segment Heap feature. According to initial tests, the Edge Chromium browser RAM usage dropped by 27%.

Google is testing the Segment Heap feature of Windows 10 to help Chrome reduce RAM usage.
Google is also quite interested in this feature, and has plans to update Chrome browser with improvements similar to Edge. A Google engineer said that the Chrome browser could be added to the Segment Heap manifest file, thereby reducing the amount of RAM used.
This Google engineer adds that Chrome's actual results may be different from Edge's, so memory savings could be 27% higher or lower. Anyway, this is a valuable improvement for the Chrome browser, which was dubbed the monster that consumes RAM on the computer.
