Chrome makes system slow/memory

Hello

I’ve been noticing that sometimes I open a new tab (it’s very random on the website I open) on Chrome, and it starts to “eat” a lot of memory (like 1GB for that tab), making the system to go very very slow. Sometimes I can do a Shift-Esc and close that process. Other times I really need to power off on the PC button.
I have plenty of available RAM… Seems a memory leak somewhere…
Any ideas?
Thanks
