Chrome for Android is set to receive a desktop-style Task Manager, a feature long awaited by users. This new tool will provide granular control over browser processes, allowing users to identify and terminate resource-intensive tabs without restarting the browser.

• The Task Manager will display real-time metrics including Memory footprint, CPU usage, Network activity, and Process ID for each task.
• The first look at this functional feature comes from browser code sleuth Leopeva64 on X (formerly Twitter).
• This update is particularly significant for users in markets like Kenya, where budget Android smartphones with limited RAM are popular, offering improved performance management for devices costing under KES 10,000 and KES 20,000.
