Adding Purge Memory Button to Chrome's Task Manager

Adding a purge button to Google's Chrome Task Manager is easy.
  1. Right click on the Chrome shortcut ( on your desktop )
  2. Look down, to the very bottom of the pop-up window for Properties, and left click on that.
  3. Look for a window named Target, containing text; C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
  4. Add this text to the end of the text in step #3; -purge-memory-button ( make sure you leave a space before the text you insert )
  5. Left click on Apply, and close the pop-up window.
  6. Use the shortcut to open the Chrome Browser.
  7. Right click on the very top of the Browser ( above the omni-box )
  8. Left click on Task Manager.
The image below displays the Purge button on the Task Manager. Click that button, and watch your memory usage drop immediately.



This is especially useful when playing games on-line. Many games leak data to your memory, slowing your machine down.

Google Chromes Inline Translate Extension for Google+

Don't limit yourself to reading posts from only the people who speak your native language. An extension for your Google's Chrome Browser translates any post in just about any language.

Each Google+ item has three buttons at the bottom; +1, Comment and Share. Google Translate for Google+ puts another button next to them; Translate. When someone posts an item in a language that is foreign to you, just click on that button and it will be translated, inline for you to read in your native language.
