Google to finally fix memory usage issue


Popular browser Google Chrome is finally taking a step toward solving the long-standing issue of memory storage in the new Chrome 110 update which will reduce RAM usage by up to 30% and make the browser 'more efficient'

In comparison with Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge, Chrome has struggled with memory efficiency improvement, despite releasing an update that hibernated tabs in the background

First leaked in the 108 version, the update is still rolling out globally for all users

The Memory Saver will save up to 30% more RAM, by freeing up memory from inactive tabs, and refreshing the tab only when it's visited

Users will be able to specify which tabs they want to be exempted from the Memory Saver, especially the tabs visited frequently
