Google Chrome may soon reveal how much RAM a tab is using on Windows

Google’s popular browser Chrome tends to use up a lot of system resources, especially on Windows 10 and Windows 11. However, high memory usage is not always the fault of the browser as some websites can be the reason for resourced hogging. The tech giant is now testing a new feature on its browser that can spot tabs or web pages draining system resources. Currently, Google allows users to track the RAM consumption of tabs and extensions through Chrome Task Manager. The company is now trying to streamline the process.

According to a report by Windows Latest, Google is experimenting with a new feature in Chrome’s stable version, which is being tested with a limited group of users. This feature will display to users the “memory usage” of individual tabs in real-time when hovered over them.
