If you’ve ever wondered why your laptop or PC was feeling a bit sluggish, Google Chrome’s latest feature update is for you.
We all know how annoying it is when your device starts acting like it’s wading through treacle. And what’s usually to blame? A gazillion tabs open in your browser. Well, Google Chrome has come to the rescue with a cool new feature that’s going to make your life a whole lot easier.
Introducing the ‘Tab Memory Usage’ feature. Now, when you hover over your tabs, Chrome will spill the beans on how much memory each one is using up.
So, what’s the big deal? Well, with this feature, you can finally figure out which websites are turning your laptop into a slow-mo turtle. Chrome will not only tell you which tab is responsible, but also why it’s munching away at your memory. Is it the content on the page or some sneaky background process? You’ll soon know.
If a tab has been taking a nap for a while and not doing anything useful, Chrome’s Memory Saver feature might have gently put it to sleep to save memory. No worries, your tab will wake up refreshed when you need it.
Now, I know you’re wondering how you access this feature. It’s simple. No need to dive into complicated menus, you just hover over the tab. That’s it. The memory usage info will magically appear.
This update is part of Chrome’s grand plan to make your browsing experience even better. They already introduced Memory Saver mode and Energy Saver mode earlier this year. Memory Saver mode is like a magician, saving resources from inactive tabs to keep your active tabs running smoothly. It’s the closest you’ll get to having your cake and eating it too – all your tabs are still there when you need them.
And for those times when you’re trying to squeeze every ounce of juice from your laptop’s battery, there’s Energy Saver mode. It’s a guardian angel for your battery life, reducing visual and background activity to keep your laptop going longer.
Best of all, both of these modes are enabled by default, and you can tweak them in your Chrome Settings sidebar. So, you’ve got all the power to customise your browsing experience.
Google Chrome continues to make our browsing lives easier and more efficient. What new feature would help you out the most in 2024?
