Google Chrome's Special About Pages

Google Chrome has a slew of  about: pages. Each page depicts useful data which may be interesting to developers. At least one of them is an Easter egg. So without much ado, here are the special ‘About’ pages.

To view each of these about pages, open a new window or tab in Google Chrome and type the address listed below in the address bar.

1. about:memory – Provides a summary of the memory consumed by different web browsers which are open on your machine at any given time.
2. about:stats – This gives a birds eye view of the time in milliseconds that each function takes to execute within Google Chrome. There are well over a hundred attributes that are listed in this page.
3. about:network – This page provides tools to do I/O tracking, Profiling and also show the Performance of the Google Chrome web browser.
