Google, which has been quiet for a while and has not come up with any black technology, has recently taken active actions against its own signature Chrome browser by restarting it. First confirm Plan to fully import the 64-bit version of the Android version(Android 10 and above), and on Chrome 86 after this version, it is said that it will also bring the title of getting rid of the power-hungry monster. By enabling new experimental options (under ideal circumstances), there is an opportunity to increase the battery life of the laptop by 28% to extend the use time by about 2 hours.

Really so awesome? Chrome 86 will extend laptop battery life by two hours
I believe that for friends who like to use Chrome, although people are willing to choose it as the default browser because of its diverse and frequently updated functions, it often has a love-hate relationship due to power consumption issues. Now, according to foreign media reports, through the experimental feature options that Chrome 86 will bring, Google will start to improve the power consumption problem caused by background tabs. The most handsome thing is that such improvements actually have the opportunity to increase the battery life of laptops by 2 hours (but under certain circumstances…).
That is to say, this feature should not have much impact on people who don’t open too many Chrome tabs. However, if you always have too many browsing tabs open in Chrome and are on standby, it is said that Chrome 86 will bring effective control restrictions on unnecessary background JavaScript timers and trackers. This prevents check functions that would have continuously monitored your page scrolling from running continuously to avoid unnecessary performance loss. According to Google, under ideal usage conditions (36 background tabs + 1 running blank page), Chrome will extend the battery life of the laptop by about 2 hours.

Naturally, the data obtained under such experimental conditions should drop a lot when it is put into the hands of you and me in the future (after all, there should not be many people using Chrome with a blank page open). But since it has been proven that such a new option will help battery life, I believe most people should wait until the option is turned on and activate it as soon as possible. And if such a function does not affect the user experience too much in the future, Google should soon put it into official functions, so you can look forward to it.
