Google Chrome Gets Option To Free Up Memory
The memory usage of modern web browsers has increased quite a bit over the years which can be attributed to the increased functionality but also to plugins and extensions that use computer memory as well when the web browser is running. Google Chrome and Chromium make it easier for the user thanks to the build in task manager to find out those components and plugins that are responsible for the largest memory usage.
The keyboard shortcut Shift Esc will open the Google chrome task manager that will display the memory usage of the plugins, tabs and core browser. The task manager displays the page or plugin, the memory usage and cpu usage. Initially Google Chrome users had only the option to end a process listed but the latest Chromium builds outline an improvement.
