1 min read
Summary
Google Chrome is one of the world’s most popular web browsers, but its performance can deteriorate when users accumulate multiple tabs, extensions, and background processes.
Chrome’s built-in Task Manager can help users improve their browser’s performance by identifying tabs and processes that are consuming excessive resources.
To open Chrome’s Task Manager, click on the three vertical dots in the upper right corner, navigate to More Tools, or press Shift + Esc on Windows and Chrome OS.
The Task Manager window displays a list of all active processes in Chrome, which can be sorted by memory, CPU, network usage, or process ID.
Users can then terminate unnecessary or problematic tasks to free up system resources and improve overall browser performance.
Chrome’s Task Manager is a powerful tool that can help maintain smooth and fast browsing and it is essential to regularly check and use it to optimize performance.
Additional suggestions to improve Chrome performance are keeping it updated, limiting the number of open tabs, reviewing extensions, clearing browsing data, and carefully using Chrome flags.
