@styfle: Actually it doesn't, it allows for better memory management. See: [www.chromium.org]

Since we're talking about UI design, here's a really interesting video about the integration of extensions into the Chrome interface.

@Step666: This!

@nemo728: Uh, Gizmodo doesn't have trolls? Not only do they have trolls in the comments, but they also have trolls on their staff too! Jesús Diaz can troll like a motherf*****. I mean, look at this: [gizmodo.com] And then this: [gizmodo.com] How is that not trolling?

@Johann Schmidt: Which one is the best site for commenting? Take us there!

Jeez Louise, great to see LH called bullcrap on that "Pac-Man hurt productivity" story. Come ON! It was just a couple of seconds playing a classic game on freaking Friday! And most people didn't even realize they could click on "Insert Coin" to play the game anyway. Should we really be worried about this? No.

@freakshowtime: WTH? My screenshot extension went bonkers, I meant this one: [imgur.com]

I love when Lifehacker editors go on TV. Remember when Adam Pash did? [lifehacker.com]

@Desu-San-Desu: Well, since you use Chrome - which takes up a lot of memory by design - in a laptop without a lot of memory, I'll assume you just love Chrome (like me!) and can't just use something else.

I would advise against FastestChrome (not FastestFox! #corrections) and AutoPager. The first is a memory hog and the second can be replaced by AutoPagerize, which is much simpler but much more effective, in my opinion.

@pkasting: Oh hey, you again! Keep spreading the word, this tip was life-changing for me.

@Desu-San-Desu: Uh, that's what makes Chrome extensions special. You can see whether an extension is taking up too much memory and restart it - or even replace it. Also, separating each extension in its own process makes Chrome more stable.

@bonedog73: If you don't want to use Chrome, use the open-source Chromium, upon which Chrome is based: [build.chromium.org]

@Keith Mascarenhas: That's what I do! The less extension icons, the better.

@tsherwin03: Use LastPass while this doesn't come to Chrome: [lifehacker.com]

@TCMcQueen: The bookmark system in Chrome is seriously underdeveloped, still after five major versions.

@neely615: That tip was life-changing, really.

@Nikkoli: Install the plugin, dude...

@Wyatt Christopher Lewis: Actually you can't close single tabs in the task manager, because Chrome groups some tabs into one process.
