Chrome Memory Management Update: Why Frozen Tabs Won’t Clear Memory
Google is making a significant change to Chrome’s memory management by disabling Memory Purge on Freeze by default. This update means frozen tabs will remain in memory, resulting in faster tab switching and reopening across Windows, Mac, and Chromebook devices.
Google Chrome is implementing a crucial memory management change that will significantly impact how the browser handles frozen tabs, with the upcoming disablement of Memory Purge on Freeze by default. This fundamental shift in Chrome’s approach to tab management means that when tabs become inactive, they will remain in memory rather than being cleared out, potentially revolutionizing how users interact with multiple tabs across Windows, Mac, and Chromebook platforms.
