I'm running Mac OS 10.91 and and the latest version of Chrome (31.0.1650.63), yet it locks up my entire system when I have roughly 15 or more tabs open. The beach ball appears and the only way to close the app is to turn off the laptop (latest MBP 13" 8 GB).

Is it just me or is this a known issue?
 
I'm not seeing that with the same OS and Chrome version numbers.

Quit Chrome, then try deleting the Chrome folder from these two locations:

Code:
~/Library/Application Support/Google

Code:
~/Library/Caches/Google

Just open Finder then shift-command-g and paste in the folder paths one at a time.

Also try deleting the Chrome plist file at:

Code:
~/Library/Preferences/com.google.Chrome.plist

This will wipe all your Chrome settings and bookmarks, so you will want to export your Chrome bookmarks first then import them back in afterwards.
