How Chrome moderate appetites with a large number of open tabs

Almost every one of us in Chrome is open at least a dozen tabs, and even more. Each of them consumes memory, which, as we know, not rubber. How to save resources without closing the browser tab and you will learn from this article.

What do you usually do when you find something interesting, but can not immediately see it? That's right, leave hanging in one of the tabs in the hope someday to come back and continue reading. "One day," coming soon, if ever, occurs. Chrome meanwhile, eats up RAM by loading it into the contents of your open tabs. As a result, the end of memory and everything starts to brake terribly, we sigh and close the very unfortunate tab. Well, or at best, forced to finish the job browser and open it again.

This is fundamentally the wrong approach, because one great option is available on Chrome, which easily solves our problem. It is in beta, which means that the default is not active, but to include it would be easy.

Open a new tab and trying to drive into the address bar just such a command:

chrome: // flags / # enable-tab-discarding. 

On the next page of hidden settings include the option to "Delete the contents of the tabs" and restart the browser. Everything.

Now, when the memory is full Chrome It will automatically determine the background tab, which we have not addressed, and delete the contents of the memory. And it works on any platform, be it Windows, Mac or Linux.

As a result, you can keep open as many tabs in the memory, they will not hold. The only time when you want to view some of the "pending" tabs, it will have to be updated. But it is certainly not a problem.

If desired, clear the contents of the tabs in the memory, you can manually without waiting when it will be filled entirely. It will be useful for those who have in the background hangs a hundred tabs.

chrome: // discards /

Using this command, we can see all open tabs in order of priority (sorted Chrome) and clear any of them.

Revert to the default settings by calling the menu with the first team. Although you do not want to do it, because the memory of such an approach consumes almost twice less, especially when a large number of open tabs.
