Try out Google Chrome’s Task Manager. Although it is for developer use, but it has something which catches our eyes.
Recently the ability to free up memory has been added to it. As you tend to browse through different sessions, usually all the browser will demand for more RAM space. But by adding purge-memory-button switch to your command line, you can get a purge memory button on the Task Manager screen.
Once you’ve made the change, your shortcut’s target should look like this (on Windows, of course):
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Chromium\Application\chrome.exe –purge-memory-button
After which you can Press shift + ESC after you’ve been browsing for a little while in Chromium top bring up the task manager. Press the purge button, and you’ll notice several of your memory figures drop (some quite drastically).
This is just a tweak to help you before it officially arrives on Google Chrome in near future.

Brilliant comment about SEO. I’m frankly quite dumfounded that this has not really been told before to such an extent.
