"Google Chrome's Latest Feature Exposes Tab RAM Usage on Windows 11"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by WindowsLatest

Google Chrome is testing a new feature that allows users to see the memory usage of individual tabs in real time on Windows 11. By hovering over a tab, users can view how much RAM it consumes, helping them identify resource-intensive web pages and manage them more efficiently. This feature is part of Google's ongoing efforts to enhance Chrome's performance, including implementing features like Memory Saver, which reallocates resources from inactive tabs to active ones. However, the feature does not provide a detailed breakdown like the built-in Task Manager.

Google's Chrome browser now features a Memory Saver function that automatically frees up memory from inactive tabs, indicated by circles around the tab icons. Users can click on the tabs to make them active again, although there may be a slight delay in loading. The feature can be disabled or specific sites can be listed as always active. Microsoft Edge has had a similar feature for some time.
