◆ "Improve the function to open the page that was opened last time"
In Chrome you can open the page you saw at the time of the last exit again at startup "Open the page that was open last timeFunction is installed. Until now, if you were looking at multiple pages at the end of the last time, all the pages were loaded, but in the future it will be improved so that only the "most viewed pages" will be displayed, By reading only the page, you can browse quickly. Also, when the memory consumption of the PC is intense, the tab stops reading in the background, and a function to suppress memory usage is also newly installed.

◆ Automatic memory cleanup
When multiple software programs are running on the PC, you are concerned about the amount of memory usage of each software, but when you do not load Web pages in Chrome, old data that you do not use is automatically A function to clean up has been added. By actually using the automatic cleanup function, we succeeded in reducing memory usage by about 10% on average.

For example, if you are using Gmail in Chrome and using other software at the same time, the memory usage is 225 MB in the conventional Chrome 43 (image left), 167 MB in the Chrome 45 (image right) We succeeded in reducing the usage by about 25%. According to the Google Chrome development team, it is a function that exerts more power if more complex processing is done.


Power consumption
By default, the "Detect and run important plugin content" option is enabled from Chrome 45, and Flash content that Chrome judged not important will no longer be played automatically. With this function the maximum battery life of the PC has been extended by 15%.

In addition, Ryan Schoen, product manager for the Google Chrome development team, said: "This stable version of Chrome 45 includes improvements to improve performance, but even faster and more powerful browsing We are planning to make improvements to do that. "
