fire surfer (ID: 0000001aee17a52c) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/12/2022 Seems to be ok. One thing I have noticed is that Chrome is a huge memory hog. The newest updates for chrome seem to have killed most of their bugs. I have no doubt that more will come with the next update. This extension is not to blame. It just report, nothing else. It would be nice if there was a page that explained all the options and the difference between panel, bar, shelf.

Greg M (ID: 000000dec675152d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/01/2020 Simple, neat, does what it says. If possible I'd like the option to turn off alerts for when available RAM is low

Mark Zinzow (ID: 0000003010196fcd) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 12/27/2019 According to the Google Chrome task manager this extension uses more ram than the one by pd4d10, so I've switched to that. This memory monitor uses somewhere between 22,704K and 115,704K, (typically ~49,000K) and the other between 21,904K and 40,056K. When running out of memory, I prefer the most memory thrifty monitoring, rather than the most full featured. Unregistering unwanted service workers helped free a lot more ram at chrome://serviceworker-internals. These numbers were checked on both my Win7 system and a Chromebook.
