Overview

• With the addition of various addons and extensions in the usage of modern browsers, it is imperative that a certain tool be allocated for the specific purpose of calculating the specific units of storage that is being used in the functionality of an application. Most users are unaware of data storage issues that result from the opening of too many tabs in a single browser. Multiple tabs can now be measured for the amount of memory they consume, as Mozilla Addon store has come up with an easy solution to the problem. This solution is presented in the form of Tab Memory Usage extension, which is a fast and effective Firefox extension that displays the memory use of an individual's tabs next to the tab title. This is advantageous in the way that it allows keeping "tabs" on the amount of memory being consumed by each open window, for a further management of device storage. This extension has the ability to work out-of-the-box, with little or no settings required to set its service into action. The usage of the memory is calculated on the basis of tab components and helps prevent the Firefox browser from slowing down.
  
  Firefox uses the built-in API to determine the amount of memory being used, which is then displayed to be managed for the optimum performance of the browser. These tab statistics can allow a user to be properly aware of the memory being consumed by each specific tab, which in turn, helps the user determine the importance of the tabs. By prioritizing windows, an individual is able to free up storage and make better decisions in their analysis.

- use it (Firefox 52.7.0, and Nightly (Basilisk, = FF55) since Today: gorgeous, must-have!
I have been switched in Options page: "Memory report mode": to Toolbar --> Badge


"NEW Stunning Web Pictures Gallery" page 27: 19.9 MB then 15.8 MB on Nightly, 21.4 MB then 13.1 MB on Firefox...
"Browsers and Extensions" first page weight: on Nightly:12,9 MB...or after some little time16.8, then 13.8 MB?... On Firefox 11.9... or in some seconds15.3 MB, then 10.8 MB?
- why these fluctuations?..

Thank you all, but your comments would be more than welcomed (yes if you wish)

- have you downloaded this gem already, long time ago maybe?...
and why these value of memory use fluctuations? hmmm

Nice share. Thanks!

One can also in Opera and other Chromium based browsers use there built in task manager by simply press Shift+Escape.

 

[Prorootect]

Yes upnorth, but it's handy, you see the tab memory value quickly, this add-on let's take a quick look..."in the blink of an eye, lives and breathes" like spoke my DeepL translator.

Sounds like a helpful extension. I don't care all that much about tab memory. I guess I keep too many tabs open that are on a different topic of thinking each time. What I found that helped me was The Great Suspender for Chrome. There is also a tab suspender for Firefox, and it's almost the same thing. I like that I can disable suspension for pinned permanantly in the settings or for any other open tab on right click if I choose. I set suspend for unpinned after 5 min, and it works just right for me. Possibly my favorite extension, since I keep about 20 tabs open. BTW, they even open suspended that were suspended before closing the browser...

Nice extention Prorootect but every time I add an extension to the browser it gets more and more sluggish, I'm guessing you have a very powerful computer so you probably don't have this problem.

Hahaha Bryan, good one!
Cause I have this same problem: too many extensions in my browsers, and I see the new supplementary candidates to download on Chrome Store or Mozilla website that I found if I search...but 'm able to make the Great Purge sometimes...
On ancient Nightly (this one from 2017.11.21) have 13 add-ons - Fasterfox too, in new Nightly (and Firefox ESR) have this same number I think - it's too much, because the Nightly browser is getting slow!
... and in CENT: 15 extensions, but this browser works always quickly with this number of ext.! (recently, I don't use much Slimjet, Iron, SeaMonkey and Opera...).
- but I am willing to reduce these numbers again and again...oh uh
... it's not easy.

Only half kidding about your computer compared to mine, here is my computers specs.
Datasheet PN: NX.MQVAA.001
If I had a really powerful machine I would have many extension like you probably. Not complaining about this machine though, I'm very happy with it.
