Use Google Chrome? Ever suffer from any of the following:
- Chrome slowing to a crawl?
- Tabs freezing up?
- Your computer’s fan whirring like crazy/laptop heating up?
Particular sites like Gmail and Facebook, and plugins like Gmail Offline are particularly susceptible to maxing out Chrome’s CPU and memory.
Chrome has a Task Manager that’s all well and good, but I wanted a good way to monitor CPU usage during normal use in order to quickly identify when a tab or plugin starts misbehaving.
A search didn’t throw up anything suitable, so I decided to take on the challenge of creating a browser extension to do the job.

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
