You can always use the Windows task manager to find which tab is consuming a lot of memory or CPU. You can’t sort the tabs by usage so you will have to manually find the tab with high CPU usage. You will see the CPU usage by that tab and you can close it or reload it directly from this page. To see performance stats for an add-on or tab, click ‘more’ next to the tab or add-on. This page will give you a list of all tabs open, and add-ons installed in your browser. Open Firefox and type the following in the address bar. Pick out the tab with high CPU usage and click End Process to close it.įirefox doesn’t have its own task manager like Chrome does but it does have a built-in tool to find performance stats for tabs and add-ons. You will see a list of all tabs you have open, and all extensions you have installed in your browser. Open a Chrome window and tap the Shift+Esc shortcut to open the task manager.

If you leave a browser tab open for too long, it will slowly start using up more and more memory.
While these browsers are great at keeping up with technology they have a few problems like memory leaks and high CPU usage. Even if you discount the new features and abilities a modern browser has, you still can’t ignore the fact that they’re much faster. Browsers today have improved exponentially over the past decade.
