Do certain browsers run off the GPU instead of CPU?

I've noticed recently that my 780 is getting to temps of 63 when Chrome is loaded. I just installed Waterfox and it's doing the same as Chrome. I downloaded Firefox which is not effecting my GPU, and Internet Explorer also doesn't effect my GPU. I have reinstalled Chrome too, just 15mins ago actually.

Anyone know what's up? does the same happen to you?

It's something I want to solve as my custom fan profile ramps my GPU fan at 50% just for Chrome.
 
Firefox is being pretty good. I have all my usual tabs open, hardware acceleration is on and temps are 2c over idle. Chrome and Waterfox ramp up to 63c with just the default page open.

[EDIT] Turned off GPU accel in Chrome and it still does it. I noticed that with Chrome open my GPU clocks to 100% and stays there.
