Google Chrome browser is heavy no doubt, you feel it’s bloat especially on Androids with 1GB RAM and below. Here’s a little trick to speed up Chrome on Android smartphones and tablets:
- Tap on the address bar and enter the following URL, then press Enter to confirm it:
chrome://flags/#max-tiles-for-interest-area
A new menu appears, and the option “Maximum tiles for interest area” is highlighted in yellow.
- Tap the Default button directly below it, a drop-down menu appears from which you select either 256MB or 512MB. (These values represent how much RAM memory you want to allocate to Chrome’s rendering engine).
- Tap the “Relaunch Now” button for the new changes to take effect.
From henceforth, you should have a smoother browsing experience.
what direction should the rendering engine RAM change go? should it be increased or decreased?
Should be decreased
