Introduction
I have opened multiple tabs in Chrome for my work. I want to check my emails and browse multiple websites at once for new updates. When I opened it, it was working very smoothly. But, after some time, Chrome started lagging. Pages are taking more time to load, and while scrolling, it was not smooth. I know this lagging or unresponsiveness will waste your time.
Here, I have tried some of the tips for the above problem, which has shown a big difference after implementation. So, here I will help you by sharing 10 Google Chrome tips for faster browsing. After implementing these tips, your Chrome browser will be very fast. And these tips will work for both Android and Computer.
1. Stop Keeping Too Many Tabs Open
You need to stop keeping dozens of Chrome tabs. Try to open tabs whenever you want after working and close them. The background tabs, which consist of videos, these tabs will use system resources. You can also use Tab Groups to categorize the related tabs as groups, like shopping tabs, etc. If you don’t want to use group tabs, then close multiple tabs that you don’t want.
Make sure if you have opened multiple tabs after completing work close them immediately to overcome this problem.
When I want to make an Instagram reel, I will open tabs for downloading the reel, voice over like sarvam.AI, and one tab for video crop. After the things are done, I will close them immediately.
2. Clear Cache Regularly
You should clear the cache regularly by clearing cached files, which helps in loading websites faster. So, an outdated cache will affect your browsing performance. If you want to clear your cached files on your desktop, then go-to settings, privacy and security click on clear browsing data and select cached images and files.
To clear cached data in Android, you should follow the same settings, but make sure you don’t select cookies and other site data, which helps you sign in to websites.
3. Remove Unused Extensions
Try to remove unused Chrome extensions because they will affect your browser’s loading performance. Some of the extensions will continuously run in the background that use memory. To view your extensions, open chrome://extensions and filter extensions that you need for your work. If you have not installed any extensions, then disable them.
Keeping extensions limited will help in improving the browser experience. Even I have deleted all unused extensions that made a small improvement in browser loading. Currently, I have installed, and I am using only two extensions.
4. Enable Memory Saver
If you want to keep multiple tabs open, the Chrome memory saver feature will help you improve your performance. Firstly, go to settings, then performance, enable memory saver, which helps you by keeping inactive tabs into sleep and makes active tabs run smoothly. Here you can add your important websites to the Always keep these sites active list.
So, enabling memory saver helps in improving your website’s loading performance. I have enabled this option in my settings, which you can see in the above screenshot.
5. Enable Page Preloading
Chrome has a feature called Preload Pages. This feature helps in browsing faster. When you enable this option, Chrome intelligently loads only certain pages in the background, which is based on your browsing activity. To enable it, go to settings, then click on performance, turn on preload pages for a faster browsing experience. This makes you feel better when you open search results.
My recommendation is to turn it on. I have turned it on it is helping me in faster browsing and searching.
