Google takes steps to reduce background activity tab to extend the battery life of laptops, phones Google's latest update for the Chrome browser began what will be a series of moves in the next few years to reduce the power consumption of the Browser by limiting the activity in tabs in the background.
Starting with version 57, Chrome strangle individual bottom tabs by limiting the rate of fire timer for bottom tabs using an over power, Alexander Timin, a software engineer on the Chrome team. Chrome 57 debuted on Thursday 9. Some March users, however, may not have yet received the update. Strangulation eyelashes background is not new: All browsers do it to some extent, especially when instructing them to check if there is a relevant page update or application only once per second instead of more or less continuous.
With Chrome 57, Google became even more aggressive. According to Timin, the browser will further delay timers to limit the average processor load to only 1% of a single-core CPU. Audio-listening tabs - such as one directed at spotify.com - and those who must maintain real-time connections, including video conferencing, will not be affected. Timin claimed that the new throttling generated 25% less than background tabs occupied, although did not express that in a battery-saving format that, if not more precise, would be more clear to users.
Google has also outlined a longer-term program, whose goal is to suspend the background tabs altogether. At the end of June, for example, the Mountain View, California company wants to suspend all tasks on Chrome mobile background tabs; Sometime next year, Chrome desktop by default should completely pause a tab in the background after N minutes, but still give web developers the option to keep their applications active when they are not the most forward tab.
