XPS lags while using Chrome

Question

Hello, for some time now, my XPS has started to lag when using Google Chrome with 15-20 tabs. The fans are blowing really loudly, and programs such as Discord or even Explorer are lagging. The device also gets relatively hot, but that doesn't bother me too much. It doesn't matter whether I have the charging cable connected or not. If I close a few tabs again so that I only have 2-3 open, the laptop returns to normal after a while. I have done all possible updates. (from Dell and Windows) Here is my system information. If more is needed, please let me know.Chrome Version: 127.0.6533.72 Does anyone have a similar problem or can tell me what the problem is? Thanks for the help!

Check your memory usage -- Chrome is a memory hog, and you're likely seeing a lot of swapping to virtual memory.

I have 32GB in my XPS 15 and even that I can see the memory load rise considerably with Chrome running and it rises fast with multiple tabs

I use excel and some workbooks are also memory pigs

It is so bad at times I am pondering moving to 64GB so I can get some work done faster
