Recent evidence suggestsChromeon Android may receive a new Tab Declutter tool to help people manage so many open tabs.
Hints of this feature were discovered in lines of code onGoogles Chromium platform by9To5Google.
Its unknown exactly how Tab Declutter will work, although there is enough information to paint a picture.
Not only could Tab Declutter help people manage a messy online window, but it might also boostChromesperformance.
All those open tabs can eat away at a equipment’s RAM, slowing things down to a crawl.
This isnt the first time Google has worked on improving tab management for its internet tool.
It was similar to the new Declutter tool, though much less aggressive, since it wouldnt archive anything.
Ultimately, nothing came of it, however it seems Google is looking back at this old idea.
Imagine Chrome disappearing tabs you wanted to look at without letting you know.
It could get frustrating pretty fast.
Will there be an exception list telling Chrome to leave certain websites alone?
We’ll have the answer if and when this feature eventually goes live.
We have no word on when Tab Declutter will launch.
Its unknown if Chrome on iOS is scheduled to receive a similar upgrade as the Chromium edition.
9To5Google speculates the update will launch in early May as part of Chrome 125.
This seems a little early if its still in the middle of development.
Late summer to early autumn is more plausible, but we could be totally wrong.
Well just have to wait.
