Ubuntu Uninstall and Reinstall Chrome

Chrome on my Ubuntu keep hitting 100% CPU-usage after an update.

• I check Chrome Task Manager, where the Browser task keep hitting 100% CPU usage.
• The sympton persist even as I closed all the tabs.
• I disabled all extensions
• I sign out from Chrome
• I try uninstall and reinstall without deleting the configuration, the system still persist

The only way to fix the 100% CPU usage into uninstall Chrome, delete the configuration files and reinstall Chrome.

Uninstall Chrome

sudo apt-get purge google-chrome-stable

Delete Chrome configuration files

rm ~/.config/google-chrome/ -rf

Reinstall Chrome

Visit https://www.google.com/chrome/ using another browser

• Click Download Chrome
• Select 64 bit .deb (For Debian/Ubuntu)
• Click Accept and Install
• I am using Lubuntu, so it promts Open with GDebi Package Installer (might differ if you are using Ubuntu) and continue to install the package.
