Process Monitor Chrome Extension

monitor chrome's CPU and memory usage, drill down to identify misbehaving processes and take action..

** ** Requires the Chrome dev build ** Download from: http://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel ** ** This extension uses the chrome.processes API, which is currently ** only available in the Dev build of Chrome ** Use Google Chrome Ever suffer from any of the following: - Chrome slowing to a crawl - Tabs freezing up - Your computer’s fan whirring like crazy/laptop heating up particular sites like gmail and Facebook, and plugins like gmail offline are particularly susceptible to maxing out Chrome’s CPU and memory.

Chrome has a Task Manager that’s all well and good, but I wanted a good way to monitor cpu usage during normal use in order to quickly identify when a tab or plugin starts misbehaving.

A search didn’t throw up anything suitable, so I decided to take on the challenge of creating a browser extension to do the job.
