Google Chrome Will Warn If There Are Tabs Open Which Reduces Performance

Today we have reported very disappointing news for users of the popular web browser, Google Chrome. Google's plan to end third-party cookie support on the Google Chrome web browser to improve user privacy has now been put on hold. Even so, at the same time Google still manages to introduce new features that are very useful.

When users open many tabs on Chrome, memory and CPU usage will usually increase. This is something that many people have already identified. This new feature will warn users which tabs are reducing web browser performance and which are using excessive CPU power.

Google also includes a Fix now button to fix problems and restore Chrome's performance. For now this feature is still in testing. It can only be tested on Chrome Canary via chrome://flags > enable #performance-intervention-ui and #performance-intervention-demo-mode > restart Chrome > Go to Settings-Performance-General and make sure Performance Issue Alert is enabled > Then go to chrome://discards and select Trigger performance CPU intervention.
