Peter Kasting, a senior software engineer team Chrome, posted on his Google+ account on June 10, several improvements were made to the browser running on Mac OS X. For example, there is the modulation priority for rendering tabs placed in the background. This greatly reduces loss of autonomy.
Google shows his enthusiasm for his improvements on using the battery, comparing to Apple's own Chrome browser, Safari. For example, an improvement that applies concerns the Chrome page of Google search results. Instead of using 0.3% percent of the processor, now Chrome uses 0.1% of the latter, following a reduction of the browser out of standby consumption. On CapitalOne.com, Chrome has reduced the number of awakenings, from 1010 to 720. Amazon.com, it rose to 316 clocks, against 768 before. By comparison, Safari got a score of 312 awakenings.
