I see. Didn't realize about the previous high memory comment. I guess it is probably the same thing. I don't know, since I was not monitoring memory usage and the computer became truly unusable even after waiting for a few minutes, so I couldn't even change to a terminal. I will check today and see if the memory is also the issue in my case.
After doing some tests, my issue seems different. Memory usage was a total of about 1.7GB (in a system with 8GB) with 8 tabs open. I tried to resize the Chrome window and suddenly the whole thing froze....

As in like as per the previous comments?

Anybody experiencing troubles with the latest google-chrome-stable? I updated the system during this week, and now I cannot use chrome properly: it works OK for some time, but at some point the computer freezes (I can move the mouse) but cannot click on anything and the keyboard is also unresponsive and I have to hard boot. I'm not completely sure chrome is responsible, but it has always happened (at least 5-6 times in a few hours) when I was using it and none when I have switched to Firefox.

Previous one: https://dl.google.com/linux/deb/pool/main/g/google-chrome-stable/google-chrome-stable_62.0.3202.94-1_amd64.deb
Also see /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ (it's good to move AUR packages there also).

Also need to report the memory issue with 63.0.3239.84-1 - it now eats up at least 3 times the memory it used to - running it on a 16GB RAM system, the computer can hardly operate without lagging after opening the 5th Chrome tab or so.

google-chrome 63.0.3239.84-1 has memory leak for me. After some time it eats 4GB of memory, when normal for my situation is 1GB.

Chrome throws an error when starting from the command line:
$ google-chrome-stable
/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: FcWeightToOpenType
Note that Chromium throws the same error, but I'd rather have Chrome working ;-)

I see, I use XFCE, but I might have pulled some gnome depedencies.
I didn't notice the optdeps section during building.
Sorry for the trouble.
I also see severe memory usage issue in recent versions. I open hundreds of tabs and use tab suspender. It used to work with only less than 2GB, now I have to restart it once every day to free 6GB of memory or it will take all of swap.
