๐ฅ๏ธ Tab Resource Monitor
Your Chrome Task Manager โ with smart estimates.
Keep your browser running smoothly with real-time, site-aware estimates of CPU, RAM, and network usage for every tab. Tab Resource Monitor helps you spot heavy tabs, understand performance patterns, and take quick action โ all from a simple, always-available popup.
โ ๏ธ Note: Chrome extensions donโt have direct access to system CPU/RAM/network data. This extension uses realistic estimation models based on site type, activity, and behavior patterns.
โจ Key Features
Task managerโstyle view with estimated CPU, memory, and network usage per tab
Alerts for heavy tabs when resources exceed expected ranges
Auto-refreshing stats with smooth live updates
Sortable, color-coded table for quick insights
Lightweight design with dark mode support
Privacy-first: all estimates are generated locally, no data leaves your browser
