Hi! This is Mike Callahan, Dr. File Finder and welcome to part 10 of our special butterscotch.com 10-part series on Google Chrome. Now, on these last segments of our series, I'm going to look at the ability of Google Chrome to have controlled crashes. Now you see I've got Chrome opened on my desktop. I've got three tabs open. And if I move my mouse cursor up here at the top and right click, move down, you’ll see something you won’t see in any other browser task manager, click that and Google Chrome Task Manager comes up.
If I highlight this, the browser itself, it shows how much memory it’s using in K, how many CPU cycles. It also shows the segment information for each tab and also for any plug-ins that are being used. Now, if for example, you had a tab that was having problems rather than have to close down the whole browser, you could highlight that tab and click end process just like you would in windows task manager. And it would close that tab and leave the other tabs intact.
Another feature that you could access from here is Stats for Nerds as they call it. And what that does is it shows you some interesting information about a browser, the memory it uses whether it’s shared, it’s total, ho much virtual memory and how much is mapped. It’s not of what interest to most lay people but it’s very handy to programmers. So, Google Chrome has this unique ability to act much like an operating system by having a task manager that actually lets you control the individual tabs as if they were individual programs. So, that’s controlled crashes in Google Chrome and that concludes our 10-part series.
