Does your computer groan under the weight of dozens of open Chrome tabs? 

Does your laptop battery drain faster than a leaky faucet when Chrome is running? 

Here's a Cool Tip.  Enable Memory Saver in Google Chrome.

Chrome is notorious for being a resource hog. But Google has a solution: Memory Saver. 

This clever feature can help tame Chrome's appetite for RAM, giving your system a much-needed performance boost.

What is Google Chrome Memory Saver?

Memory Saver is a built-in Chrome feature that automatically puts inactive tabs to sleep. 

When a tab is inactive, it doesn't use any of your computer's memory (RAM). 

This frees up RAM for other tasks, making your computer run faster and smoother. 

When you return to an inactive tab, it's quickly reloaded from where you left off.

Here's how to do it.

• Click the three dots in the upper right corner.
• Select "Settings."
• Scroll down to the "Performance" section.
• Turn on the switch next to "Memory Saver."
• By default, Memory Saver will kick in after a tab has been inactive for two hours.

The most immediate and noticeable benefit of using Memory Saver is a dramatic improvement in your browsing experience.  

When returning to a tab that's been put to sleep, you may experience a slight delay as the page reloads. 

However, this delay is typically minimal and far outweighed by the performance gains you'll enjoy. 

Google Chrome Memory Saver is a simple yet powerful tool that can significantly enhance your browsing experience. 

If you're tired of Chrome hogging your computer's resources, give Memory Saver a try!
