You mean Chrome? (Looking at the 5GiB usage here...)
Google Chrome is using 5 GB of VRAM?! Are you running something with WebGPU or something?
It's called prerendering tabs or something :V

At 4k it adds up, especially since if you look into DevTools Chrome actually renders more at least vertically if not across major scroll regions.
