One of the most important features of any phone is battery life, and it can be surprising to learn what impacts longevity. Over the next month, Google will be testing changes to the mobile version of Chrome that will not only help improve battery life, but also help reduce data usage. The changes come after the company has spent time improving the online experience for Chrome users by blocking ads that are deemed harmful or annoying. Then, in the company's sights, there are ads that "consume a disproportionate share of the device's resources." As part of its advertising audits, Google said it detected a small percentage secretly using network data and draining the battery. Citing examples such as cryptominers, the company claims that these types of ads are poorly timed and that lack of optimization results in a poor user experience. To help counter this, Google says it will limit the resources that ads can use. Chrome will limit battery life, processor power, and the amount of network data that all ads can use. Once this limit is reached, Chrome will simply download the offending ad.
