Chrome and the high use of RAM: Google working to find a solution

The team behind the development of the browser said to be working on Chrome to correct one of his flaws limiting.

At first, Chrome is distinguished from many other browsers for its lightness and for its judicious use of system resources. Offering very high performance, but at the same time not impacted in an exaggerated computer hardware in use. Since then the Internet has changed a lot and peppering it with new technologies, it began requiring more hardware.

Extensions, push notifications and separate management of individual tabs in different processes are some of the features that weigh more RAM and if you have Chrome users for some time, you will surely have noticed the gradual increase in demand for resources by the browser. It is of course also aware that Google recently stated that it was working on the problem.

Specifically, he is trying to make Chrome a browser lighter to improve not only its performance, but also the impact on the battery of mobile devices: ” We are actively working to reduce battery consumption, both when Chrome is active or when in the background, ” said one of the engineers of the development team in a Q&A session on Reddit.

” Since its inception Chrome is designed to be more secure and efficient as possible on all supported platforms. The performance, sometimes are obtained using full system resources available, but considering the importance of the mobile platform ( reducing consumption battery ) is one of the most important things we’re trying to achieve. ”

But Big G does not forget about some of the desktop, where the primary objective is to break down the onset of any memory leaks and improve startup time on machines less efficient.
