You're probably downvoted because it's been pretty widely known that Chrome is a CPU hog on OS X. Checking the energy shaming feature, Chrome is pretty much always in the "Apps Using Significant Energy" section. I did a quick search on "Chrome energy OS X" and found a number of pages that mention it, all of which date back to Mavericks which is the first time energy usage was reported (separate from straight CPU usage).
I only use Chrome if I need to use a site with Flash and I use the "Open Page With" item in Safari's Develop menu to open the appropriate page. Then, I quit once I'm done with it.

Either way, the weird thing is that if you go to the Window menu and hit Task Manager... you can monitor extension CPU usage, etc.
I never had a problem until recently, and yet now I'm seeing red in the Activity Manager due to Chrome. It's bizarre.
