About Browser Care
(Updated: )Open browser tabs pile up fast. Pages you forgot about keep running in the background and use up Mac resources — memory and processor power — which slows everything down. At the same time, a crowded tab bar makes it hard to find the page you need, and you lose focus while hunting for it. Worse, it's hard to tell which tabs are actually causing the slowdown.
Browser Care is a Chrome extension that works together with CleanMyMac to bring your tabs under control. It shows which tabs use the most Mac resources, helps you close the ones you don't need, and pauses the ones you can't close yet. You manage everything from the Chrome toolbar, so your Mac stays fast and your tabs stay organized.
Browser Care works only with Google Chrome.
What you can do with Browser Care
Find and pause tabs that slow down your Mac. Top Consumers ranks your tabs by memory and processor (CPU) use, so you can spot the heaviest ones at a glance. Pause a single tab, all top consumers at once, or every tab except the one you're working in, then resume them whenever you need.
Close duplicate tabs. Browser Care finds tabs with the same address across all your Chrome windows and closes the extra copies. The newest tab always stays open.
Close tabs that have been open too long. Browser Care collects tabs that stayed open longer than a time limit you choose — 6 hours, 1 day, 3 days, or a custom number of days — so you can close them in one click.
Review and organize all open tabs. Browse every tab from all Chrome windows in one list. Search for a tab, sort the list by resource usage or by how long tabs have been open, group tabs by website or window, and close a tab or a whole group.
Requirements and limitations
Browser Care runs on Health Monitor, a background process of CleanMyMac. To use it, you need:
Google Chrome.
CleanMyMac installed and activated on your Mac. If you use a trial version of CleanMyMac, Browser Care works until the trial ends. After that, it stays locked until you activate CleanMyMac.
CleanMyMac background items allowed in macOS, so Health Monitor can run. Learn how to allow background items.
By default, Browser Care doesn't work in Incognito windows. To use it there, turn on Allow in Incognito for Browser Care in the Chrome extension settings.
