If you find yourself with a lot of tabs open in Google Chrome, you may have noticed that your computer starts to slow down. This is especially true if you are doing more than just reading articles online. But there is good news for Chrome users – a new feature has been added to the beta version of the browser that warns you when a tab is using too many resources.
To try out this feature, you will need to download the latest version of Chrome Canary from Google’s website. Once you have installed it, open Chrome Canary and type chrome://flags into the address bar. This will take you to a hidden settings menu where you can enable the tab performance warning feature by turning on the #performance-intervention-ui and #performance-intervention-demo-mode flag options. Don’t forget to restart your computer after making these changes.
After restarting, open Chrome Canary again and type chrome://settings/performance into the address bar. Here, you can select Performance Issue Alerts from the list of options. This will allow you to receive alerts when a tab is using too many resources, helping you to better manage your browsing experience.
This new feature is a great addition for heavy Chrome users who tend to have multiple tabs open at once. By being more aware of which tabs are consuming the most resources, you can improve the overall performance of your computer and have a smoother browsing experience.
It’s always exciting to see new features being added to popular browsers like Chrome, and this performance warning feature is definitely a step in the right direction. Give it a try and see how it can help optimize your browsing habits!
