Google wants to give your Chromebooks longer battery life

Future improvements can be seen in the latest developer versions of Chrome. This includes optimizations that have a positive effect on the battery. Google is planning new Javascript changes for Chrome.

This is used on websites on the Internet and can put quite a strain on the hardware of the devices. Google plans improvements in how Javascript source code is handled. Reducing the javascript wake times can relieve the hardware and ultimately extend the battery life of your devices.

Google no longer gives websites endless freedom and that’s good

Google is changing the time windows and throttling Javascript more. This is based on an earlier idea and can be found in Chrome 105 right now. Which doesn’t have to mean that the innovation is actually rolled out with this version already activated. The first measurements show that the CPU can be relieved by up to 10 percent. Again, that doesn’t mean the battery life is better by the same factor.

Innovations can relieve the CPU and battery, especially for frequent users

Nevertheless, one can say that Javascript will probably require 10 percent less energy in the future, and, depending on the application, this can noticeably increase the battery life. It’s another small improvement that restricts websites and only allows them to work within certain limits, which benefits users. Especially when you work with many tabs in the background.

All devices apart from the MacBook Air M1 always struggled noticeably when a lot of tabs were open in the background and the website’s JavaScript was very active. But you can’t expect everyone to buy their hardware from Apple. Chrome also runs on such a wide variety of hardware, which is a huge challenge for software development.
