NIX Solutions: Google Chrome’s Tab Memory Monitoring

Google has introduced a useful feature to its Chrome browser, allowing users to monitor the memory usage of open tabs, as reported by Lifehacker.

Real-Time Tab Monitoring

This feature works in real time; simply hover your mouse over a tab, and a pop-up window will display information about the tab’s RAM consumption. If you notice a tab causing your computer to slow down due to glitches or poor optimization, you can easily close it, notes NIX Solutions.
