Google announces Chrome will get a Memory Saver mode

Funny that Chrome is seemingly "following" Microsoft when it comes to feature development.

> Google’s announcement comes a day after Microsoft announced that its Edge Browser put 1.38 billion tabs to sleep in September alone. According to Microsoft, sleeping a tab in Edge typically saves 83% of the memory it would normally occupy. The company rolled out its version of these features, which can automatically put tabs to sleep after five minutes of inactivity (can can bring this down all the way to 30 seconds of inactivity)

I’ve used extensions for this for years, on Chrome and Firefox.

I dont even need to save memory but it really improves the stability and performance of both browsers.
