Chrome Gets A New Way To See The Memory Used By Each Tab
After rolling out the address bar update to Chrome, Google has come up with yet another update, which includes that now each of your Chrome’s tabs will show up a memory usage section, providing you the information about the amount of memory your tabs are using.
With the recent update, Google has added a new Memory usage option, following the rolling out of the addition of a Memory Saver section at the beginning of this year. Now, Google Chrome on several desktop platforms, including Mac, Windows, ChromeOS, and more, will show the memory usage information the moment you hover over your Chrome tabs.
A small rectangular card strip will now appear when you are trying to hover over your Chrome tabs along with the page name as well as the domain. This newest addition will allow users to check exactly which web pages are specifically putting a strain on your system, and it’s even much more convenient than heading towards the Three dots Menu >> More tools >> Task Manager.
In addition, users can easily turn on or off, as per their convenience and preference, by going to Settings >> Performance. Also, there’s an additional option that allows you to always keep certain sites active.
Furthermore, this newest feature works based on Chrome’s memory and energy-saving mode. Taking that into consideration, this feature is very useful as it limits all the site’s background activity as well as certain visual effects, including animations, smoother and much better scrolling, and video frame rates, respectively. While the Memory Saver option works by removing the memory used by the inactive Chrome tabs. These particular tabs will be available on your Chrome’s tab Strip and reload the content the moment you launch those tabs again.
Currently, Chrome’s Memory Usage feature within the Hover tab’s card is only available for Chrome. But it’s been gradually rolling out in the upcoming weeks for Macs, Windows, Linux, and ChromeOS, respectively.
