Google’s ‘Memory Saver’ feature has been in operation since earlier this year. It places inactive tabs to sleep, freeing up resources for use elsewhere. The feature leaves inactive tabs visible on the tab list, enabling the user to reload them by clicking on them.
The latest news is that with Chrome Canary 116, Google is further improving the feature’s visual design. It will now inform users about the amount of memory they are saving by putting inactive tabs to sleep. Hovering over the inactive tab will reveal the exact amount of RAM saved by freezing the tab; there’s no longer the need to go through menus for this information. Within the next few weeks, Google will also be adding “pseudo graphs” to show if the amount of memory saved by putting tabs to sleep was significant or not. These tabs will also appear greyed out.
If you want to check out the updates, you can download Chrome Canary and paste ‘chrome://flags/#memory-saver-savings-reporting-improvements’ in your address bar.
