- Chrome Canary now shows alerts for tabs using excessive system resources, allowing users to disable these tabs and free up resources.
- Users will see notifications when a CPU usage threshold is exceeded.
- To enable this feature, users need to access experimental settings via chrome://flags.
When tabs start hogging resources, it can have a negative effect on your Chrome browser’s performance. Thankfully, finding resource-hungry tabs might soon become a lot easier.
In the Chrome Canary build, your browser will now show alerts when particular tabs use a lot of system resources (via WindowsReport). When such performance issues are detected by Chrome, a smaller window with a list of the problematic tabs will appear — as seen in the outlet’s screenshot below. In addition, you’ll also see a “Fix” button that you can use to disable the tabs to free up resources.
