Google is introducing some new features to Chrome that should help boost your browser’s performance. In a blog post, the company detailed three new options for managing Chrome’s resources better.

The first new option is an expansion of Memory Saver, which speeds up browsing by freeing memory from inactive tabs. Memory Saver isn’t new, but the tool now has three modes you can choose from: moderate, balanced, and maximum modes. Moderate will deactivate tabs only when your system needs them, balanced considers both your browsing habits and system needs, and maximum mode deactivates tabs when you stop using them.
Also new is a Performance Detection tool, which Chrome says proactively identifies potential performance issues and offers a solution. For instance, if you’re browsing an intensive website and need to speed up the tab you’re currently using, Chrome might suggest deactivating other tabs that are using extra resources, according to Google.
