Η Google ανακοίνωσε την περασμένη εβδομάδα μια σειρά από βελτιώσεις στην V8 JavaScript, οι οποίες θα ωφελήσουν άμεσα τον Chrome και αναμένεται ότι η νέα έκδοσή του θα έχει από 35 έως και 50 % μείωση στην χρήση μνήμηs.
The team behind the machine V8 JavaScript explains its work in detail in a 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 trials that took place on the loading of a limited set of websites, such as Facebook, The New York Times, Hacker News, CNN, Reddit, Twitter, Imgur, and YouTube, but Google expects these results to be universal.
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 it 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 programming is expected to release Chrome 55 in mid-November.
