TIL: Browsers have their own task managers

Today I found out something amazing§

So I opened my discord, as one does when they get on their computer. And there was a prompt saying press Shift + ESC. I couldn't read what it was for, but I decided to give it a shot thinking it must be some newly added feature.

Am I over-reacting? How many people know about this?

Anyway here are some screenshots.§

  • edge

So I thought if the edge has it, other browsers might also have this feature, and I googled a bit.


  • firefox

  • chrome

Now, we can see how much extensions affect browser performance. For sure, I am going to use these tools to determine what extensions are worth it.

Hope you enjoyed learning something new! 💖
