First of all, make no mistake Google chrome is a reliable browser; no arguments there. It is very stable and hardly throws problems at the user. Having said that, sometimes you’ll experience Chrome keeps crashing, and it can be really frustrating when you are working with something important. But, there are simple solutions you can try to keep this issue at bay. Let’s discuss.
Chrome Keeps Crashing
Do these to stop Chrome keeps crashing
Close the unwanted tabs
You might think it’s only the tab you are currently working on Chrome is active, which is not. Chrome has a separate process for all the opened tabs, and you can inspect them via task manager on Windows or Mac’s activity monitor. So, the more opened tabs in the browser mean the more memory is consumed from memory. This is not ideal for a smooth Chrome operation.
In that sense, it would be better if you close the unused tabs and open a tab only when really required.
Update the SEP (Symantec End Point security)
If you are getting the “Oh Snap” message, the issue might not be with your chrome browser. Actually, it’s because the latest version of Google chrome is less compatible with old versions of End Point Security. If this is your situation, updating the End Point Security should prevent Chrome keeps crashing, saying, “Oh snap.”

Start all over again
Yes, it is your computer, and you can open and work with any app you like. But, your computer’s RAM should have the capacity to serve all these applications. Programs and browsers such as Opera, Firefox, Skype, VPNs, and Chrome are some of the memory-consuming applications that you should try to limit opening spontaneously.
When Chrome keeps crashing, quit all these programs if they are opened on your computer and restart the Chrome to see the issue still persists. This does not necessarily suggest that any of those closed apps have anything to do with Google Chrome; it’s because of the space available of the RAM.
Update to the latest version
Outdated versions of Chrome have a tendency to get crashed more often than not, and if you want to have a stable Google chrome, you must update it to the latest available version. Updating Chrome isn’t the most challenging work of the world. In fact, when you quit and reopen Google chrome, it should be automatically updated to the latest version.
Chrome Keeps Crashing
If this doesn’t happen with your browser, you can update it manually without much of a fuss. To do this, you will have to open the chrome browser, go to “Help,” click “About Google Chrome,” and update. If you don’t see the ‘Update” button, it says you are running Chrome on the latest version. If not, you can visit Chrome and download the latest version of Google chrome in a couple of mouse clicks.
Check for malware
You can visit the security and search engine setting of Chrome to see whether they are at the state that you previously applied. If they are not, it tells you have downloaded something erroneous to your browser. In the meantime, you can clear the cookies and cache for “all times” to mitigate this issue as well. Erasing cookies and caches will also result in removing malicious codes that are causing problems to Chrome.
Chrome Keeps Crashing
Further, third-party programs like Malwarebytesalso are built to help you with this. A simple scan will reveal whether your browser infected with malware. So, yes, there are few methods available to try in terms of malware issues on Chrome.
Chrome extensions
Extensions are awesome, and they do tons of various unbelievable tasks to get the maximum out of the Google Chrome browser. But, the extensions also small software tools, and it suggests that they are vulnerable to malware attacks. Further, when using several extensions, one can cause issues to another and not work flawlessly at the same time. If Chrome keeps crashing time and again, the reason behind the issue can be one or a few problematic extensions that you downloaded.
However, we are not emphasizing you get rid of your favorite extension straight away to check whether it is the wrongdoer. Instead, disable the suspicious extensions and see if the issue is fixed. What you have to do is disable all the extensions and try executing the tabs that you opened before when Chrome got crashed. If you find no issue with poor extensions, enable them; the issue lies somewhere else.

Now, this is different from updating. If you have tried all the above steps and the issue still exists, you will have to uninstall and reinstall Chrome.

Firefox is the go-to browser of most people, and there are loads of justifiable reasons behind their selection. Actually, it is not the topic we are going to discuss today. Let’s focus on some solutions for Firefox not responding problem. Please read this article vigilantly, as we guarantee it will stop you from searching for Firefox alternatives!

Is Firefox Not Responding? Try these
Check your internet connection
Obviously, before you do anything with your browser, check whether you have a stable and good internet connection on your computer. Slow internet connection does cause problems to the browsers, and it’s the same with Firefox as well. If you come across a good internet connection, the next thing you have to try is opening a different web browser.
Try using Google Chrome or Microsoft Internet Explorer to log in to a couple of websites. If they work fine, the issue is definitely with your Firefox browser. Let’s see what to do next.
In order to load content faster on the browser, Firefox uses the graphic processor of your computer. This process happens via a setting called “hardware acceleration.” By default, it is turned on, and you don’t have to do anything with this setting. However, we have seen that users turn this setting off as a solution to Firefox not responding problem.
Often this tiny little change can bring Firefox back to life. Here is how you turn off “Hardware acceleration.”
Click on the three lines at the right upper corner of the Firefox browser and click “options.” Then go to performance and uncheck the box that says “Use recommended performance settings.” Now you will see another option as “Use hardware acceleration when available.” Uncheck that box too and click the three lines again at the upper right corner and click on exit.
Reopen Firefox and see how the browser works now. If the issue came to an end, you would have to think about updating your computer’s graphic driver in order to prevent this from happening again.

Updating graphic drivers
We think you can understand that graphic drivers do have a say on Firefox not responding issue by reading the above solution. In fact, updating drivers is an easy fix for most of the bugs on software programs; including Firefox. Our suggestion is that it would be ideal if you take a little time and update your graphic driver once in a while regularly to keep Firefox solid.
You can update the graphic driver manually and let it happen automatically as well. But, manually updating a driver is somewhat a hassling work as you have to find the correct driver on yourself using the internet. It does demand tech knowledge to a certain extent. However, you can easily stay away from this unwanted bother by applying the setting to update the drivers automatically.

Extensions
Similar to Google Chrome, you have the luxury to add extensions to your Firefox browser as well. Nowadays, it’s a rarity to find a browser without added extensions. Outdated, malicious and issues in the developments of an extension can lead you to frozen browsers, and you will end up with the error of Firefox not responding.
If you are an extension lover who has tons of them on your browser, it can be a painstaking job to figure out which one is causing issues to Firefox. If so, you will have to disable all of them to see how the browser works without extensions. And enable one by one to identify the faulty program (extension). Moreover, try to stick with most-needed extensions to prevent lags on web browsers; be it Firefox, Google Chrome or any other.

Try the latest version of Firefox
Updating the software to the latest version is a simple yet highly efficient method to deal with slow and troublesome programs; nothing different with Firefox. However, Firefox does this job automatically for you. But you always can update it to the newest version manually by visiting the “Help” section of Firefox.
After you click on the three lines in the upper right corner of the browser, you will see the “Help” option right at the bottom of the opened menu. Then, go to “About Firefox”, and Firefox will search for the latest available update. If found, it will apply the latest version; once the process gets completed, close the browser and re-launch.

Clear the cookies and cache
If Firefox is overloaded with browsing data, it bound to cause issues while you use it. Clearing cache and cookies are not something to worry about in most cases. You can delete the cache and cookies by visiting privacy and security. Check both the boxes for cookies and cache and hit the clear button; simple as that. Then reopen Firefox and see whether the Firefox not responding has been sorted.
