Open Browser Task Manager in Edge / Chrome to reveal browsers are memory hogs


In Chrome, the “process manager” is just called the Task Manager. 
In Microsoft Edge, the “process manager” is called the Browser Task Manager.



  1. Keyboard shortcut: Press Shift + Esc while Edge is open. This instantly launches the Browser Task Manager window.

  2. Menu option: Click the three dots (…) in the top‑right corner → choose More tools → select Browser task manager.


The Browser Task Manager shows all active tabs, extensions, and sub‑processes (like GPU or network service). Each entry displays:

  • Memory usage (RAM consumed by the process)

  • CPU usage (processing load)

  • Network activity (data transfer rate)

  • Process type (tab, extension, utility, etc.)





Edge / Chrome memory consumption is over 1 Gig.
