When viewing the popup window, each domain gets a yellow highlight if a connection is currently open. The feature was introduced in 2012:

#35FlashControl disables flash and allows selective enabling on components, pages or domains. Quick Javascript Switcher let's you selectively disable JS on individual pages, handy sometimes for badly behaving pages. Tab Suspender suspends unused tabs, useful if you have dozens of open tabs not otherwise.

#36This looks really interesting, is there a reason why it hasn't been uploaded to the Chrome Store? It would be much easier to install and keep updated.
EDIT: Published! https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/netmonitor/jekcpje... (under my account by AwalGarg's request [0]) The Chrome store requires a flat fee to upgrade one's account to "uploader", which helps keep (some) spam out. AwalGarg (the fellow who built this) is a friend of mine and comes from a traditionally poor part of the world. I've contacted him about paying for the fee to see if we can get this o…
If the fee is to stop spam, it would be great if Google would consider upgrading the accounts of folks like AwalGarg for free.
Speaking of extensions, and I know this is off-topic, but I found an extension written by a Google team that implements OpenPG facilities for Gmail, but though it looks pretty complete they still say it's incomplete. What would we need to do to get them to finish this? I work for a large company that extensively uses Google for Business, in particular Gmail, and whilst Google has end-to-end encryption and facilities like Google Drive and Google Docs, I'd still like to be able to easily sign and encrypt my email!

I didn't know that, thank you for clarifying, I would be glad to pay for the fee for you, you may contact me using my twitter username @gmail.com
No worries! Thank you for offering to pay the fee! Randall has humbly taken care of it this time though :) (Thanks RKoutnik!)
Which shows how little I know about Chrome extension writing. Where did you learn how to write extensions Awal?
Oh, and let me express my appreciation for you taking the time to write this and put it on GitHub :-)

Whoa - when I browsed to the GitHub project I was expecting to see something I needed to compile, but this is all in JavaScript! Which shows how little I know about Chrome extension writing.

I am glad you find my work useful, thank you!

(Un)Fortunately, that, along with a couple other things were removed from chrome 51. See https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=588790
It has? I have Chrome version 51.0.2704.106 m (64-bit) and I do get the task manager with SHIFT+ESC, with numbers for each tab and GPU and for some extensions for CPU, network and memory. What you link talks about chrome://memory, which was indeed removed, but the parent post only says > You can use Shift+Escape for that
