Google achieves ‘largest gain’ in Chrome performance in years

New Delhi, Nov 18 : Google has revealed that several under-the-hood improvements led the company to achieve the largest gain in the Chrome browser performance in years in October.
According to Google, Chrome now starts up to 25 per cent faster, loads pages up to 7 per cent faster and does all of this using less power and computer memory than before.
Chrome now prioritises active tabs versus everything that’s open — reducing CPU usage by up to 5 times and extending battery life by up to 1.25 hours.
“Chrome on Android now loads pages near instantaneously when you navigate backward and forward, making these common tasks super fast,” said Matt Waddell, Director of Product, Chrome.
Google said it is adding tab search to the toolbox.
“Many people use tabs to organise their stuff online. This range of utility is why you can pin tabs (for those go-to pages), send tabs to your other devices and even group tabs in Chrome,” Waddell said in a statement on Tuesday.
