Users can easily manage the amount of RAM used by Google Chrome.
Despite years and numerous updates, Chrome's notorious RAM consumption remains a nightmare for users.
Understanding this, Google is striving to improve Chrome's performance. Recently, the search giant has added a new performance page to help users manage Chrome's RAM consumption and its impact on battery life.
Similar features are already available in Microsoft Edge and are now being integrated into Google Chrome.
Unlike Microsoft Edge, which only displays abstract resource-saving values, Chrome can accurately inform you of the amount of RAM a tab saves while in sleep mode. This RAM can then be reallocated to more important tasks.
As a result, you can easily identify RAM-hungry tabs and observe how efficiently the RAM-saving feature operates.
Chrome's 'Performance' page is currently being perfected and lacks some features available on Microsoft Edge. Chrome Canary users can toggle memory-saving mode and add specific pages to the exception list.
However, with Microsoft Edge, users can also specify the exact time when inactive tabs will be put to sleep. Additionally, there's an actively efficient mode to reduce resource and energy consumption stress.
Nevertheless, Google's addition of a dedicated memory-saving feature for Chrome is a great signal amidst the ongoing struggle of being labeled the 'most RAM-consuming browser.'
