Why is google chrome draining so much battery?

[BDBB]

So i have an Oppo Find X2 Pro and the battery life is pretty good. But lately i noticed that google chrome is responsible for draining about 50% of my battery everyday but i barely use it. Than i found out i can't delete chrome? So i began testing to close the app full and i checked in my battery app and it is still draining in the background? Anybody else have the same problem?

Welcome to the forums. Have you already tried clearing cache and storage for Chrome?

On my device it's same usage high , the more your in it the more it goes higher, I've tried everything in the book to contain it but same .

The funny thing is that chrome uses less than Samsung Internet on my Galaxy and I have ended up moving to chrome. Different phones must use it differently.

Yes already tried everything. To me it is just weird that u can't even uninstall the app. And really weird it uses battery (a lot) when fully closed. It's like chrome is continue synchonizing things or something so i tried to turned some of the synchronizing off but it still drains.

Do you get the option to disable Chrome? That could work if you don't use it.

Also, are you using Chrome as your Webview provider? What do you see if you open this link?

Is it installed, uninstalled or disabled?
