Now that Canary has updated to ChromeOS 108, it is reported here that the Chrome browser on ChromeOS has added an option called “Memory Saver” to the “Performance Settings” section.

When memory saver is enabled, it reclaims unused tab memory, hiding unused tabs and automatically reloading them when clicked. With recent updates, you can now add websites that are never empty (don’t use a memory saver and are always active).
