When we talk about web browsers, and in this Google Chrome plays a more than relevant role, performance is a very important aspect and this worries more and more users. This is understandable, because you only need to look at the Windows task manager to see that the browser we use regularly usually takes the highest place in terms of resource consumption, especially memory.

It’s also true, isn’t it There is considerable room for improvement in their underlying technologies.. In the case of Google Chrome, we have already seen several moves in the past aimed at optimizing its operation, although it is also true that they did not always turn out well, as we saw when Windows 10 introduced a new memory management method and Google tried to take advantage of this innovation, but in the end it was not possible.

However, we tend to always blame the browser for excessive resource consumption, but sometimes we are not aware to what extent Our habits are also to blame for this circumstance.. Either by having an obscene number of tabs open (although it is true that Chrome now, when it detects that they are inactive, “freezes” them and frees up the memory they would consume), using demanding extensions in this sense, accesses sites that also require large amount of resources etc.

The ability to audit the operation across different use cases is therefore key, as it allows us to always evaluate the impact based on how we use the browser, so we know that Google is working on a sidebar for Chrome that will display performance information This is undoubtedly a great news for all the users of this browser. We saw some movement in this direction a while ago, but as we read in Android Police, there have been some important advances recently.

The latest developments show this New modules have been added to this sidebar, among them one dedicated to “browser health”, which undoubtedly reminds us of the “Browser Essentials” bar that we have found in Microsoft Edge for some time, and which is undoubtedly quite useful. However, there is no indication of when this new Chrome component will be released for users to start using, but hopefully it will be sooner rather than later.
