Google Chrome Boosts Performance, Now Runs Faster on Low-End Devices
Google Chrome is now faster on less powerful computers
Last December, Google announced power and memory saving modes for Google Chrome on Mac, Windows, Linux and Chromebooks. Today, more and more users see these features in their browser’s Settings.
In Google Chrome Settings, more and more users see the new “Memory Saver” and “Power Saver” options. The first disables inactive tabs to reduce memory usage and reactivates them as soon as the user opens them.
The second option limits the background activities of the tabs, so that the processor is less overloaded and therefore has less negative impact on autonomy. In that case, the user can choose to activate the mode when the battery charge level is below 20%, or when the computer is not connected to the socket.
These modes are active by default and can be enabled or disabled by going to the “Performance” tab in Google Chrome’s Settings. In the address bar, Chrome will indicate the status of features through appropriate leaf and speedometer icons.
These features are becoming available to more and more Google Chrome users.
