It&#8217;s enabled by default, but you can disable it browser-wide or for specific websites if it causes problems with background tabs.<\/p>\n<p>Google Chrome is notorious for being a thirsty browser that can hog your memory, Memory Saver mode aims to solve that problem. Here\u2019s how it works and how to fine-tune or disable it completely.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Memory_Saver_Mode_in_Google_Chrome\"><\/span>What Is Memory Saver Mode in Google Chrome?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Memory Saver mode is a Google Chrome feature that is designed to cut down on the amount of RAM used by Google\u2019s browser. It\u2019s available on the Windows, macOS, and Chromebook versions of Chrome. The feature is enabled by default, so you don\u2019t need to do anything specific to get the benefit.<\/p>\n<p>Google introduced Memory Saver for everyone with the release of Chrome 110\u00a0in February 2023. Chrome\u2019s Energy Saver mode arrived at the same time. If you can\u2019t find it, make sure you\u2019re running the latest version of the browser. You can find your current version number under the three-dot \u201c\u2026\u201d icon in Chrome\u2019s toolbar by clicking Help &gt; About Chrome. Chrome will check for any available Chrome browser updates and install them automatically.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Much_Memory_Does_It_Save\"><\/span>How Much Memory Does It Save?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/products\/chrome\/new-chrome-features-to-save-battery-and-make-browsing-smoother\/\">Google claims<\/a> that, with Memory Saver enabled, Chrome uses \u201cup to 40% and 10GB less memory\u201d by freeing up memory in background tabs that you aren\u2019t using right now. It depends on how many tabs you have open and how much memory those tabs use. Memory Saver prioritizes active tabs that you are using right now while deactivating background tabs that have been open for a while but have not been recently used.<\/p>\n<p>When you return to these background tabs, they will be reloaded. This means that you may lose your place if you\u2019ve scrolled down a particularly large web page\u2014or that web <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>s may cease working until you reload the page. On the plus side, you\u2019re not \u201cwasting\u201d resources on thirsty websites that you\u2019re not getting any benefit from.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-875324\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/full_chrome_tab_bar.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Lots of tabs open in Google Chrome\" width=\"730\" height=\"83\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The feature is arguably most useful on systems with less memory (like budget Chromebooks) or for those who balance web browsing and other memory-intensive activities. If you\u2019re often playing <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s and editing photos or videos while browsing the web with Chrome then you might see a performance benefit from the new mode.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve got a huge amount of RAM available or you\u2019d rather not compromise your web browsing experience, you can disable or customize the feature.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Configure_Memory_Saver_in_Chrome\"><\/span>How to Configure Memory Saver in Chrome<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Memory Saver mode is on by default. You can choose to disable it in Google Chrome, or to disable it for specific websites. You should only do this if Memory Saver is causing a problem. (For example, if you need to run a page in the background and Memory Saver is preventing it from working properly.)<\/p>\n<p>To turn Memory Saver mode off entirely, use the three-dot \u201c\u2026\u201d icon in Chrome\u2019s toolbar, then navigate to Settings &gt; Performance. Flip the switch next to \u201cMemory Saver\u201d and it will be turned off, with Chrome functioning exactly as it did before Google introduced the feature.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-875323\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/chrome_performance_memory_saver.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Toggle Chrome Memory Saver on or off\" width=\"730\" height=\"241\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you can create a list of websites that always remain active.
