Don't you want the browser to eat memory?This is OK

Make the operation comfortably with a little effort.

Web browsers not only look at the net, but also use video viewing, documents and spreadsheets, SNS, and so on.Suddenly, there are dozens of tabs, and maybe hundreds of pieces are open, and you may use computer resources with tremendous momentum.

Fortunately, there are various measures.If you manage any browser properly, you can avoid the waste of RAM (Random Access Memory), which is comparable to a work desk for a computer.If you release the RAM well, you will be able to respond and operate faster on Mac and Windows, so we will summarize the method below.

Browser setting confirmation

To reduce memory consumption, the less browser tabs, the better.If you use a browser, you'll want to keep everything open, but if you try to close the tabs you've finished consciously, if you pile up, the performance will be different.Even if you close the tab, you can quickly revive from the browser history, so you do not need to open it for the reason, "I may use it later."

If the number of open tabs cannot be kept within a few, there are other things you can do.First, make the browser version up to date.The latest version often contains optimization processing that reduces the load on the RAM on the browser (also CPU).The browser is often updated automatically, but it may be good to check it.

ブラウザにメモリを食われたくない?こうすればOKです

After that, if you look at the browser task manager, you will see which sites and tabs are wasting resources.In Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, open with "Other Tools> Task Manager".However, in the case of MacOS Safari, there is no task manager, so this hand cannot be used.

Deleting extra browser function expansion is also a way to reduce RAM load.If you don't use much, you only want to waste resources, so open the installed functional expansion list and choose something you need to lose.Even if you delete it, you can install it again if you think it is necessary later.

There are various functions worth trying in the browser settings.For example, a hardware acceleration may be effective in transferring a part of the task from the CPU to the GPU.If you go to "System" on the configuration page for Chrome and Edge, and Firefox, if you go to "General" (you may need to check "Use the recommended performance settings" first), "use hardware acceleration".As a switch comes out, turn it on.There are various tab management settings in Edge, and it is possible to automatically sleep from "Settings> System".

The browser developers all say that returning the settings to the default will lower the system load.There are certainly reasons why functional expansion and cash that are not used over time accumulate.This is not possible with Safari, but Chrome, Firefox, and Edge have detailed manuals.

Removal RAM load by function expansion

Conversely, there is a way to reduce the load on RAM by adding functional expansion.Many of them are a type that restricts the number of open tabs, and there are many things for each browser.There may be some trial and error until you find the best way for your hard software environment.

Auto Tab Discard can be used in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, and unlocks the CPU and RAM by automatically closed tabs that are not used for a certain period of time.There are many options, you can make a tab whitelist that does not have to be closed even after a long time, or set the tabs during media regeneration not to be closed.

THE GREAT SUSPENDER (it was a malware before, but now it's gone) is only for Chrome and Edge, but it is also a good way.If you do not close the tab, you will be suspended if you do not use it for a certain period of time, and you can reload it as soon as needed.Like Auto Tab Discard, you can also specify a suspended tab.

ONETAB is a slightly different approach that can be used in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari.The main function is to make a series of tabs a list, which reduces the load on each tab, and can be easily revived in a single tab.There are various convenient options, so you can ignore the pin -pined tabs.

The rest is Limit Tabs for Firefox, which is limited to the number of tabs that can be opened at once, so if you try to open some tabs, another tab will close.There is also a setting that can be selected from the last tab, the most unused tab, the tab on the left (or right), and ignoring the pin fastened tabs at that time.

There is also more comprehensive tab management expansion.For example, Session Buddy (for Chrome and Edge) can save multiple tabs as a collection, change names and merge by changing names as needed.It is a mechanism that can lower the load on the RAM while increasing the efficiency of browsing.
