A square icon with the number of open tabs - just like on Android - shows/hides a swipeable carousel of your open pages. This “popular feature request” is rolling out now and can be manually enabled below:Ĭhrome’s tab strip is getting optimized for touchscreens. This saves space in the tab strip and helps prioritize what you’re currently working on. Users will now be able to collapse and expand Tab Groups by tapping the assigned name. Tab previews are also in beta with users able to hover over the strip to to get a small thumbnail. Chrome will distribute resources from background pages that haven’t been used “for a long time.” This results in increased loading speeds for actively used tabs, as well as battery and memory savings. Meanwhile, Google is testing Tab Throttling in the beta channel. In M85, we are rolling out PGO on Mac and Windows using Clang. PGO was initially introduced in M53 for Chrome on Windows using Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC), our previous build environment. Google touts “even greater speed improvements when your CPU is tasked with running many tabs or programs.” This is made possible by Profile Guided Optimization (PGO) - a compiler optimization technique where the most performance-critical parts of the code can run faster. On average, Chrome 85 will load pages 10% faster on Mac and Windows. Chrome 85 sees faster page loads, the ability to collapse/expand Tab Groups, and much more. Following version 84’s release on Android, Mac, Windows, Linux, and Chrome OS, the next release of Google’s browser is rolling out today.
