According to many reports on code of Chrome, Google is working on supporting “PartitionAlloc".
The new feature will improve the performance of Chrome on Windows 10, Android, Linux devices and possibly other platforms.
The PartitionAlloc feature in Chrome will allow Browser get started faster, load internal pages faster, and offer improved resource management (reduced RAM usage).
Google started working on this feature last year and is now available to followers on the Chrome beta channel for Android and Windows. The company has added the PartitionAlloc feature to Linux as well, but is currently experiencing issues and it is unclear when it will be enabled on the fixed channel.
“The PartitionAlloc function is already prechoice on Windows and Android and has been released in beta on both platforms. However, we may have issues on Linux,” a Google developer says in a post on Chromium bugs.
In addition to Windows 10 and Linux, Google is testing "PartitionAlloc-Everywhere" for Android. According to Google tests, it is a very good proposition for memory, performance and stability, with the exception of the average GPU footprint, which declines slightly.
Like Google, Microsoft is exploring new ideas for reducing Edge memory usage. Edge, for example, was recently updated with support for "sleeping" tabs, which aims to reduce memory usage through inactive tabs without data loss.
