Google Chrome further improves resource management, the browser should consume less memory.
Google Chrome is a fantastic, very complete and very powerful web browser. That being said, one of the frequent and fair criticisms is that software is a real memory hole. This means that, despite its richness in terms of features and capabilities, the equally fast loading of the pages of the sites you visit, for some users the browser is too resource-intensive, and this can be problematic. use. Mountain View is aware of this issue and has been working to improve it for a long time.
Google Chrome improves resource management even further
In a recent blog post, Google details a number of changes that have been made to make the app more efficient in managing memory. One of the changes made concerns hidden windows. The browser can determine which windows and tabs are hidden, and by taking this setting into account, Chrome can allocate computer resources accordingly.
The browser should consume less memory
For example, if you have tabs that you don’t use, it makes sense that Chrome doesn’t allocate resources to them. According to Google, these changes result in 8.5% to 25.8% time savings on browser launch, a 3.1% reduction in GPU usage, and a 20.4% improvement in page rendering.
These changes were rolled out to Google Chrome on Windows users in 2020. In other words, you should be able to use them in your daily life. Those with a high-end configuration will logically see fewer of these optimizations, but users who have fairly limited machines, especially in RAM, or who have an integrated GPU, may be able to switch back to Chrome as their primary browser.
