Although Google has included enhancements like Memory and resource management capabilities in Chrome, the browser is still notorious for its high memory and resource usage. The good news is that the browser has a built-in function called “Process Manager” that allows users to view and control all browser-related processes running in the background.
Chrome’s Task Manager is the functionality in discussion. It’s a tool that comes standard with the browser and functions similarly to Windows’ Task Manager, except it only displays Chrome-related processes. Users can use this feature to view all of Chrome’s currently running processes and applications. Users can terminate processes using the Task Manager to save up memory and CPU time.
Here’s how to monitor and control the browser processes and tabs, and release unused system resources for better overall performance:
Chrome’s Task Manager: How to Access It
- First, boot up your computer and launch Google Chrome.
- Then, on the upper right, select More via the three dots.
- To access it, use the Task Manager button below.
The browser users can now access Task Manager through Shift + Esc or by right-clicking the taskbar.
Learn how to use Chrome’s Task Manager
In a new tab or window, you’ll find the Task Manager, which details which programs are using the most system resources. All open browser tabs, extensions, and services used by open tabs or webpages are included.
Freeing up system resources via controlling Chrome’s processes and services
The method is straightforward. Simply check the list of running processes and services, select the one you aren’t using at the moment or one you think is unneeded, and then click the End Task button. Use the same process for any other tabs or services.
So long. This can help you recover some of the resources and performance lost due to the browser’s unnecessary use of them. Just make sure you don’t accidentally close any tabs or services you’re utilizing.
