Google Chrome rolls out new Memory and Energy saving features

Google Chrome’s latest update (Chrome 110) will now feature two performance-saving modes, Memory Saver and Energy Saver.

According to Google, both modes are said to reduce memory usage by up to 40% and 10GB less memory and thus extending battery life when a device is running low.

Memory and Energy Saver on Google Chrome were originally announced back in December 8, 2022 on Chrome 108 but are now rolling out widely on Chrome 110 as noted by Android Police.

Memory Saver mode helps free up memory from tabs that aren’t currently being used so that active tabs can be as smooth as possible. Inactive tabs can also be reloaded when you need them.

Energy Saver mode turns on when your laptop’s battery level reaches 20% and helps to save battery by limiting background activity and visual effects from websites with animations and videos.

Users will also be able to toggle both Memory and Energy Saver off completely or exempt certain websites of their choice. These controls are found under the three-dot menu in Chrome.

Google Chrome’s new Memory Saver and Energy Saver modes are now available on the latest Chrome 110 release on Windows, macOS, and ChromeOS.
