[Solved] Chrome stalls when I type in the address bar

If Chrome stalls whenever you type into the address bar – either to execute a search or to type in an address, then it is possible that your browsing history has become very bloated. The Chrome database checks through your history every time you type a letter. If that history is very big, then searching through that data can draw on a lot of resources.
chrome://history/
The fix? Clear your browsing history.
chrome://settings/clearBrowserData
Yes this means losing some very useful data. So only do it if you really can’t take it anymore…

Unfortunately, this doesn’t fix it for me. Chrome still stalls for about 5 seconds whenever I click on the address bar of a opened page.
