Add Purge Memory Button to Chrome Task Manager

Friday, September 2, 2011
Mark Kull provides a neat little trick to help us manage our memory when running Chrome;
  1. Right click on your chrome shortcut on your desktop, taskbar, wherever, and edit the properties. 
  2. Under the target field add this after the \chrome.exe: -purge-memory-button so it reads"\chrome.exe -purge-memory-button" then close and re-open chrome.
When you run the chrome task manager (shift+ esc) you'll also have a purge memory button you can use to purge memory on individual chrome processes.
