This allows Chrome to proactively identify potential performance issues and provide you with a solution.

You might receive a “Performance Issue Alert” notification to speed up which tab you are running, with the pop-up showing which background tabs may be using additional resources. The pop-up will have a “Fix Now” option, which will disable other tabs and give you a faster experience.

Chrome’s Memory Saver feature has also been updated and now offers three modes: moderate, balanced, and maximum. In Moderate mode, tabs will be disabled based on your system needs, while Balanced mode takes into account your browsing habits and system needs. Maximum mode will disable tabs faster than Moderate or Balanced. You can select which mode you want to use by going to Chrome’s Settings menu and selecting “Performance.”

Last but not least, more customization is now available in Chrome’s performance controls, such as specifying which websites should always remain active. Overall, the new features should provide a better overall browsing experience and we’re definitely here for it.
