NOTE: Don’t try this if your computer or phone a) doesn’t have a lot of RAM (4gb+) or b) stutters or struggles right now with the memory it does have. Same goes for phones, but 2GB RAM for mobiles.
1. Open this address inside Chrome:
chrome://flags/#max-tiles-for-interest-area
2. Here you can edit the max tile count. This essentially controls how much memory Chrome has access to. If you’re confident that you have lots of RAM, go for 512, otherwise do 256. You can always change it later.
3. Relaunch Chrome
4. Monitor your memory usage
I’ve done this on both my Windows Desktop and my Galaxy Note 2 and so far the results have been great. It’s like a whole new browser!
