If you keep a lot of tabs open over the course of the work day, Chrome will invariably take up a massive amount of your Mac’s memory, making your computer feel slower, and shortening how long the battery seems to last on a single charge.

As web developer Primož Cigler pointed out Chrome—rather like your computer itself—has a piece of monitoring software called the Task Manager, that you can access to see what tabs are taking up the most processing power. He claims he doubled his Mac’s battery life by simply closing one tab. Here’s how to do it: Open Chrome and look for the little hamburger-shaped button on the far right of the browser bar. Screenshot/Chrome Press the “Memory” button to sort all the activity in Chrome to see which is the main offending tab.

If it’s another process, like a Chrome extension you’ve installed, then click the “End Process” at the bottom of the screen. Cigler found that he’d pinned a tab for xe.com, an exchange rate calculating site, and it had been crushing his computer. “It was obvious choice,” he said. “I can live without pinned tab about exchange rates, if that makes my laptop alive for twice the time.” And that’s it.

Why use an older version of Google Chrome? Google only provides an online setup file for Google Chrome which installs the latest version of Google Chrome. It happens frequently that a user upgrades to a new version of Google Chrome and gets upset by an unpleasant feature, a missing option or an annoying bug.
Therefore, some users want to roll back to an older version of Google Chrome to preserve a useful feature, option or support some legacy technology. However, is it really wise to use an out-dated verison of Google Chrome? The answer is NO since out-dated browsers usually come with security issues. A better solution to the problem is to use Slimjet browser, which runs on the latest Blink engine while offering more flexibity, features and options compared with Google Chrome. With Slimjet, we give users more choices to tune their browser to their own personal preference instead of forcing a majority style on everyone.
