It’sno secretthat Google Chrome hogsRAMand battery life like an excessively Attached browser app . In an feat to reduce the stock on your inadequate overwhelmed laptop computer , Google is acquaint a feature that will motorcar - interruption ‘ insignificant ’ Flash component on a webpage . Hell yes .
In a web log post , Google ’s Tommy Li , a Software Engineer and Power Conservationist , outline the update , which is being rolled out in the beta version of Chrome :
When you ’re on a web page that pass Flash , we ’ll intelligently pause content ( like Flash animations ) that are n’t central to the web page , while keeping central depicted object ( like a video ) playing without suspension . If we accidentally pause something you were interested in , you could just click it to resume playback .
Disabling Flash plugins until you tap them is n’t a new idea — it ’s a feature that ’s been available via extensions likeFlash Control for age . But rather than granular control over every element on the webpage , Google is promising a impudent Flash blocking agent which the mediocre substance abuser ideally wo n’t notice .
Li did n’t give figure for battery life improvements with the Flash blocker enable , but I typically see an extra hour or so of battery life story when I use Flash Control on my laptop computer . For heavy Chrome substance abuser ( and those who just ca n’t get enough of standard ads ) , the update could see an supererogatory 10 - 20 % battery life as if by magic appear overnight , when it roles out to non - beta Chrome sometime in September .
