All professionals, students, employees, and everyone else, who uses laptops or mobile devices, wish to have good battery life for their devices. Most of the time, we use laptops and mobile phones for browsing and this consumes a lot of battery. And a majority of people use Google Chrome for doing so.
So, for all Chrome users, Google at present, is testing a new ‘Quick Intensive Throttling’ feature that will reduce CPU time by 10 percent. This feature will extend the battery life of mobile devices and laptops.
Users who are in a habit of opening a lot of tabs across all devices, will be benefited from this feature.
Google has introduced the latest feature known as ‘Intensive Wake Up Throttling’ in Chrome 87. The company noticed that this feature decreased Chrome’s CPU usage by up to 5x and increased battery life by up to 1.25 hours.
Another feature known as ‘Quick Intensive Timer Throttling’ is being tested by Google, reported About Chromebook. This feature reduces the five-minute grace period to 10 seconds. Further, it allows suspended tabs to immediately decrease CPU utilization and increase battery life and is being tested in the Chrome Canary and Dev versions.
Here’s how you can enable a Chrome flag:
- First of all, install the latest version of Chrome Dev or Chrome Canary
- Then open Chrome Canary or Developer and entre ://flags/#quick-intensive-throttling-after-loading in the address bar
- Once done, you will have to set the ‘Quick intensive throttling after loading’ flag to enabled option
- Now, relaunch Chrome, and you are done
Once you enable the Quick intensive throttling after loading settings, you will see that Chrome is using comparatively less CPU on the device. Also, you will notice that the overall battery life has been extended on your device.
This will let your browse more using Google Chrome, and you will not have to worry about battery life as well.
