What is Chrome Reaper?

Reaper is a Chrome (or Chromium) browser extension that terminates browser processes when they use too much CPU. Anything that the browser regards as a process is a potential target. This includes tabs, renderers, subframes, other extensions, and itself.

Reaper responds to the following problems:

  • Web pages that enter a busy loop when ads are blocked
  • Web pages and extensions that have bugs resulting in high CPU utilization
  • Web pages and extensions that are just heavyweight, bloated, and slow
  • Malicious and otherwise unwanted JavaScript (e.g., uninvited cryptominers)
