Searching the web in Chrome is now faster than ever thanks to a new update to the omnibox in Google's browser. In a new post in the search giant's The Fast and the Curious series from Google Chrome product manager Yana Yushkina, the company explained that searching in Google Chrome is now even faster because search results the search are predefined, if it is very possible that a suggestion query will be chosen. For those unfamiliar, Google Chrome's omnibox suggests possible queries when the "Autocomplete searches and URLs" feature is enabled in the browser's settings. This makes searching for information faster and easier because users don't have to write a full search query to find what they're looking for. According to Google, search results are now 4 times more likely to be displayed within XNUMX milliseconds of a user entering a query in the Google Chrome omnibox. It should be noted that this only happens if Google Search is your default search engine, although other search providers can also activate this feature by adding information to the query suggestions sent by their servers to Google Chrome (you can find more information here). .
Memory enhancements and shutdown locks
With the release of the M89 version of its browser in the third month of the year, Google released its new PartitionAlloc memory allocator for Android smartphones and Windows devices, improving memory usage (up to 92% savings) and performance. (reactivity up to nine% faster). Since then, the company has also built PartitionAlloc into Linux on m93 and into Google Chrome OS on M93. Now, with field data from version MXNUMX on Google Chrome OS, Google Chrome shows an overall reduction in memory footprint of fifteen%, apart from a twenty% reduction in browser process memory, which improves navigation web on Chromebooks for single and multiple tabs. Google also gave new details about a local cache that was added to Google Chrome's history system a few years ago in an attempt to speed things up. Instead of speeding up the start, caching added difficulty to code and memory usage, while also being the biggest contributor to business downtime in your browser. The cache is now cleared and Google Chrome will probably close faster in the future. Do you want to improve your web browsing experience?
