According to multiple reports in the Chrome code, Google is working on supporting “PartitionAlloc".
The new feature will improve Chrome performance on Windows 10, Android, Appliances with Linux and possibly on other platforms.
PartitionAlloc in Chrome will allow the browser to start faster, load internal pages faster, and offer improved resource management (reduced RAM usage).
Google started working on this feature last year, and it's now rolling out to followers in the Chrome beta channel for Android and Windows. The company added the PartitionAlloc feature to Linux as well, but it is currently facing problems and it is not clear when it will be activated on the fixed channel.
"PartitionAlloc is already a default on Windows and Android and is available in beta on both platforms. However, we may have problems with Linux ", says a Google developer in a post for 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 suggestion for μνήμη, 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.
