Chrome adds tab group synchronization and memory usage report

At the same time, the browser has been trained to identify which sites send too many notifications.

Google has announced three new features for the desktop browser Chrome, which are being rolled out to all users.

Tab groups will be able to be saved and synchronized: they can be accessed from any desktop device with the same account. The option can be customized for each tab group individually, allowing users to choose what will be synchronized and what will remain on a single computer. This update will gradually roll out to Chrome users over the coming weeks.

The browser now displays how much RAM each tab is "using" - this feature was previously only tested. The public release also includes a prediction of RAM savings when enabling memory-saving mode.

The third change - "Safety Check" now operates continuously and in the background, rather than on demand. This feature checks the current version of Chrome and the security of the extensions in use, as well as comparing password manager data with the latest leaks, suggesting which passwords should be changed. Additionally, "Safety Check" can now be used to revoke permissions granted to sites (for example, access to the microphone or geolocation) if you haven't visited them in a while. It will also display sites that frequently send notifications, with an option to revoke that permission as well.

Google has also promised to improve the search engine next year with its own AI model, Gemini.
