Final Chrome Release of 2020 Brings the “Largest Performance Gain in Years”. Chrome 87 Brings Tons of Improvements Focused on Efficiency
Google has today released Chrome 87, bringing a faster than ever before browsing experience. “This month’s update represents the largest gain in Chrome performance in years, thanks to many under-the-hood improvements,” the browser maker claims. One of these improvements includes reducing CPU usage by up to 5x and extending battery life by up to 1.25 hours by prioritizing active tabs over everything else. “Even if you have a lot of tabs open, you likely only focus on a small set of them to get a task done,” Mark Chang, Chrome Product Manager, explains.
