The solution has finally arrived: Hurry to activate the Tab Freeze feature in Google to prevent it from consuming RAM.
It is important to note that Chrome is the most widely used browser, and one of the most common complaints from users is that it consumes a lot of random access memory.
Google is implementing various changes in Chrome to improve it, and in 2015 introduced a feature called “Tab Discarding,” a way to suspend tabs that we have not used for a long time.
The company wants to take this feature a step further, so it has launched Tab Freeze. It works very similarly to Tab Discarding, but gives us more control over the time tabs are suspended in the background and how long it takes.
You can now try “Tab Freeze” through Chrome Canary 79. As is usual with any new test feature, you will need to enable it in order to start testing it.
To activate this feature in Chrome Canary, you should follow these steps:
Open Canary and enter chrome://flags in the address bar
You will need to select “Enabled” to activate it. Chrome will default to freezing tabs that have been inactive for more than five minutes.
