Google last week announced a number of improvements to V8 JavaScript that will directly benefit Chrome, and it is expected that the new version will have a 35 to 50% reduction in usage μνήμηs.
The team behind the V8 JavaScript engine explains its work in detail technical article on the V8 blog. The terms used in the article are quite technical and you may find it difficult to read it, but the result is that the improvements will decrease in Chrome 55 memory consumption by 50% for Chrome 53.
The measurements refer to tests done on the loading of a limited set of websites, such as Facebook, The New York Times, Hacker News, CNN, Reddit, Twitter, Imgur, και YouTube, αλλά το Google αναμένει τα αποτελέσματα αυτά να είναι καθολικά.
Chrome has gradually increased its memory consumption in recent years and if its upward trend continues then it is certain that it will also lose a large share of the market. And we say "he too" having for example Firefox which has a particularly high memory consumption and constant crashes as a result of which its users have abandoned it and it now has a smaller market share than Safari.
Google released Chrome 54 earlier this week and according to her schedule she is expected to release Chrôme 55 in mid-November.
