The latest version of Chrome is expected to optimize browser use to bring faster and more efficient performance.
In a blog post, the company announced that it has released a number of improvements to Chrome for Windows, Android, Mac and Linux. These include the ability to open first the most commonly used tabs, optimized usage of idle time resulting to cleanup of unused memory, and optimized battery life in devices by using auto-pause when dealing with annoying Flash ads.
According to Google, the update will now allow the browser to determine whether the user's PC is running low on resources every time the tabs are restored. It then decides to stop restoring the tabs and leave it up to the user to restore them himself. This is a useful feature, especially for users who like having multiple tabs open at a time.
"Chrome has long had the option to "continue where you left off" by restoring tabs when you relaunch Chrome," wrote Ryan Schoen, product manager and performance promoter of the Google Chrome team. "Now Chrome is smarter about restoring your tabs more efficiently. Tabs are restored from most to least recently viewed, so you get to see the most important tabs faster."
Google notes that running auto-pause on Flash content can extend battery life by up to 15 percent, although it also depends on the OS. The company also plans to turn the feature into a default setting over the next couple of weeks.
The new Chrome version 45 will hopefully solve the woes of users who want to get the most out of their browsers. Google reiterates that speed is one of Chrome's founding principles. The latest Chrome release attempts to continue the same principle and users can expect to see more new versions to release in the future.
