Chrome launches new tools to manage resource-heavy tabs and improve performance

theverge.com

Google is launching new memory management features in Chrome to help users manage resource-heavy tabs. The updates include "Performance issue alerts" that notify users when a tab is using excessive resources. These alerts appear as a speedometer icon in the toolbar. Clicking the icon shows which tabs are problematic and offers options to dismiss or fix them. Additionally, the Memory Saver mode has been updated with three settings: Standard, Balanced, and Advanced. These modes adjust how quickly inactive tabs are deactivated based on system needs and user habits.
