The steamwebhelpe is the same as you see on your chrome in your screenshot. Why you don't complain there? It helps loading websites in a single process to avoid crashing of the whole application when a faulty website breaks something. That is just one advantage of that system.

Steam web helper not closing when i don't run chrome ...
I have 2 them and use 100 Mo ram

[Seven7]

But plugin-container in firefox use less memory webhelper 25-100Mb per process, plugin-container - 15-25 + Flash 10-70Mb per process
steamwebhelper is plugin-container+flash?
i think one is for store.steampowered, second for steamcommunity

Millions of webhelper instances are killing all games on my computer... I dont use the in game browser, have overlay turned off(now) and am running normal mode(not big picture). Is there any plugin - ie flash, active x ect that i should remove that would reduce the effect of this ?

[Fragil Viper]

steamwebhelper is WebKit-based software - of cause it like to eat RAM! =)

[Senzoba]

Steam web helper is more of an annoyance it doesn't help in any way should just get rid of it

same here.
i have 2 steamwebhelper.exe using 90-100% of my cpu.

[Autositz]

You people really need to stop watching 18+ videos in your ingame overlay and use a computer whos CPU is not made of transistors the size of a football... Even on my old Core2Duo 1.8GHz the webkit tasks never stayed at top usage numbers, only during page loads, scrolling and such of course...

Steam webhelper is built on Chromium which is infamous for memory leaks. Maybe pop that Valvecock out of your mouth, Autositz, and get a brain in your head. It is not Chrome, it is Chromium. Those are two different things. Enough people have had such a massive problem with it that they've come out with a batch file just to kill it every 4 minutes which will still freeze up your machine for a few seconds.

"Dughhh that isn't a problem steam is infallible" steam has been notorious for ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ up ever since the GREAT PERFECT 10/10 LOADTIMES back in the early 2000s which I bet you thought were the user's faults too. Just Chromium being up in multiple instances is enough to start end-all-available-memory procedures on your system which form massive memory leaks and bog down everything.
This isn't a user problem, this isn't a small problem, it's not anything new either and I doubt Valve will fix it and if they do decide to at any point in time it'll be 2 years off.

For a large portion of people these problems have made CS:GO, TF2, and Dota 2 completely unplayable as after around 5 minutes everything slows down until it's like playing on a "gaming" laptop.

Edit :
I should also note that turning off your overlay won't help it, right now the only available solution is the steamwebkiller.bat file. There is no way to simply remove Steamwebhelper from your computer or block it from running.

Spider's right- steamwebhelper is the source of the issue. I used Process Monitor to catch it doing this:

7:41:00.9663585 PM steamwebhelper.exe 4588 NotifyChangeDirectory CANCELLED 59.2733204 Steam Client WebHelper
7:42:00.4964135 PM steamwebhelper.exe 3280 NotifyChangeDirectory CANCELLED 59.5731394 Steam Client WebHelper
7:43:00.3405932 PM steamwebhelper.exe 960 NotifyChangeDirectory CANCELLED 59.8951288 Steam Client WebHelper
7:44:00.5001807 PM steamwebhelper.exe 4640 NotifyChangeDirectory CANCELLED 59.7410039 Steam Client WebHelper
7:45:00.5846453 PM steamwebhelper.exe 1744 NotifyChangeDirectory CANCELLED 59.6167839 Steam Client WebHelper

Everyone one of those is a system call that took nearly a full second and eventually timed out.

The bottom line is that the steamwebhelper.exe process is buggy and unstable, and interferes with seamless gameplay. I've been using the steamwebkiller.bat file that he refers to until recently, when it stopped working. Rather than go farther down the rabbit hole, I just locked out steamwebhelper.exe from being utilized by any users in the Security tab of Explorer's file Properties. Problem solved- at least for the moment. What a headache!
