In 2020, Chrome introduced throttling of JavaScript activity of background tabs – reducing the allocated resources for inactive tabs in order to reduce their power consumption and load on the processor. Obviously, tabs take up the lion’s share of resources, so this innovation should have been beneficial. However, since then, the browser from Google has not lost the title of one of the most voracious web browsers. Now, the developers seem to have found a problem – the throttling function turns on too late to be effective. This is reported by gHacks.
In recent builds of Chrome Beta and Chrome Canary, a Quick Intensive Throttling after loading option has been added to the developer menu. If you activate it, throttling of background tabs will begin not after 5 minutes of inactivity, but after only 10 seconds.
Google has already tested the innovation and noted that it greatly eases the load on the processor (by about 10%).
To activate the new option, just install the latest build of Chrome Beta or Chrome Canary, go through the address bar along the path chrome://flags/#quick-intensive-throttling-after-loading and set the switch of the corresponding option to Enabled mode, and then restart the browser.
