Both are designed to make your web browsing experience a lot smoother.

[{"selector":"#anim-94f8f27c-8e99-47f4-8404-c38b9dcd61a7 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-24.534079129143706%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-055643ba-247a-49af-bc40-cfa44fc04eb8","keyframes":[{"offset":0,"transform":"translate3d(0, -508.11497%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.29,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.45,"transform":"translate3d(0, -142.88192956400002%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.61,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.71,"transform":"translate3d(0, -48.575791132000006%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.8,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.85,"transform":"translate3d(0, -18.241327423%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":0.92,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"},{"offset":0.96,"transform":"translate3d(0, -7.926593532%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(.5, 0, 1, 1)"},{"offset":1,"transform":"translate3d(0, 0%, 0)","easing":"cubic-bezier(0, 0, .5, 1)"}],"delay":0,"duration":600,"fill":"both"}]

Similar to the sleeping tabs that has been in Microsoft Edge, Memory Saver in Chrome can free up your computer's memory

[{"selector":"#anim-0c451d21-16fd-4cfe-97d2-a756958f0959","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.5)","scale(0.95)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1450,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-14394be2-4ae6-4c43-a365-80f0d6933f5f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(7.065118930500588%, -17.12328721947876%) scale(1.3424657534246576)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

This is for situations where you have a lot of media-heavy tabs open that you plan to get back to at a later point.

[{"selector":"#anim-484d3fc3-acb3-4a88-a39a-e8e21260faf7","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(122.96820%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-06f106cd-655a-47e6-8087-90903eb7d465","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5a2435eb-1a1a-475a-a22f-1efb973dc465","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-139b0a07-8f07-41be-85a5-33bc4d86e719 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-21.874999829338588%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

You'll know when memory saver is on, as you'll see a notification for it in the address bar, and an option to turn it off manually.

[{"selector":"#anim-4f96288c-8e09-48c5-be8f-fa67da93ad51 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-1.1539133676224302%, 1.5129673904920404%) scale(1.2392344497607655)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e969b2f7-fba4-46de-a584-6155d790c4ed","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dbd08a0c-69d4-4fd7-8617-268bb28f2c11","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Google will even give you a visual indicator of how much KB worth of memory is saved.

[{"selector":"#anim-ee1b03f4-9e90-4641-9093-7cc20750d368","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6bed2f1e-fb1b-4e23-8882-e6b773fe9a86 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(12.548397889963475%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Laptop or MacBook dips below 20%, Chrome will tweak webpages to help save that precious battery life.

There will be a visual indicator in the Chrome menu bar for Energy Saver whenever it is turned on.

[{"selector":"#anim-c10b9563-f3f9-4b89-bacd-a657dcf60a51","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0e9291ad-f2e8-4213-ae10-1935ca8ed09b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, -5.547062168564972%, 0)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Google says you'll have full control over both of these new options.
