Android users who use Google Chrome on their devices have probably noticed that the browser has become faster to start. This improvement was made possible by the introduction of a new feature called Freeze Dryed Tabs. According to Google, Chrome on Android devices now starts up 20% faster on average.
Every user knows that web applications run slower than regular ones. One reason is that the initial page rendering process requires a lot of background work, including loading resources, running JavaScript, and actually rendering the page. Initially, the developers came up with a solution that downloads a screenshot of a web page before it is fully accessible. This speeded up the startup process, but users couldn’t interact with that page. Then Google developed the concept of the so-called sublimated tabs, adding a certain level of interactivity. In fact, this is a light version of a web page, similar to a screenshot, with the ability to scroll, zoom and follow links. Once the actual web page is fully accessible, Chrome seamlessly navigates to it.
When using sublimated tabs, Chrome launch delay was reduced by 20% (from 3.4 seconds to 2.8 seconds on my test device). The numbers may vary depending on the device you are using and the site loaded. In addition to speeding up startup, these tabs consume less memory. Since changes have been made to Chromium, this feature should be available for other browsers based on it.
