Google is reportedly working on a new feature called Performance Panel for Chrome on Windows 11 and macOS. The panel will likely allow users to monitor their browser’s memory and CPU usage, as well as the performance of individual tabs.
Google has been working on several performance-related changes to Chrome recently, including new controls for deleting tabs and more. The performance bar is likely part of the company’s broader strategy to improve the performance, speed, and security of its browser.
In a post on the Chromium bug forum, a Google engineer noted that the new panel is in the final stages of development and that the team is “working to finalize the content design of the new performance sidebar and prototype what the various performance cards will look like.” to be viewed. “We check if there is a blank side panel on the dock to make prototyping easier.”
People Windows latest The productivity bar is believed to be similar to the main browser functions in Microsoft Edge. One of the main functions of the performance panel will probably be memory preservation. Enabling this feature prioritizes resources in active tabs so that Chrome uses memory only when it’s in active use.
For example, if you have multiple Instagram tabs open in Chrome, but you’ve been using the YouTube tab for the last few minutes, Chrome will temporarily free up memory for inactive Instagram tabs. The freed memory will then be shared between YouTube and other browser functions.
The performance panel may also include a battery efficiency feature. When the battery level of the user’s device drops to 20%, Google Chrome will prompt the user to enable battery saver mode.
All these features are provided by the core features of the Edge browser. It’s great to see Google working on similar features for Chrome, as this will give users more control over how their browser uses resources. This can help extend battery life, performance, and overall user experience.
