Google has rolled out Chrome browser’s new Energy & Memory Saver modes to many more people.
Google had explained at the time of the feature release in December that the 2 performance settings will let you free up significant resources. Chrome will use up to 40% fewer resources & 10GB less memory than before. The “saver” features will work on all desktop operating systems, including Windows, macOS, & ChromeOS.
Energy Saver cuts down the energy Chrome uses to browse the Web. Chrome will detect when the battery drops to 20%, saving energy by limiting background activity. That might include reducing visual effects for websites. But that’s not good enough. There’s an option to turn the Energy Saver on when the computer is unplugged. That’s what you’ll want to enable to make the most of your laptop’s battery life.
Memory Saver, on the other hand, should free up RAM by pausing inactive tabs. Inactive pages will be paused & will remain visible inside Chrome.
