Updated Google Chrome will use less memory

Google’s next update for Chrome – Chrome 55 – will include an upgraded JavaScript engine that reduces the amount of memory the browser consumes.

 

[IOPS]

Keen to see some real world results, these kind of updates are long overdue.

Will this also apply to the Mobile chrome app? Or is it just for PC?

About time.

Indeed,I hope this also applies to OPERA since it runs of chrome.It's been a memory hog since they switched to the chrome platform.
