Google Chrome's memory and battery saver modes are rolling out to everyone

Over the 14 years since it debuted, Google Chrome has increasingly become a resource hog, vacuuming up more and more of your system's memory and battery life with seemingly reckless abandon. At long last, Google is doing something to make the browser less of a strain on your computer. As part of Chrome 110 for Windows, Mac and Chromebook desktops, the company is rolling out memory and energy saver modes.

The features, which Google announced in December, are both enabled by default. You can turn them off from the Performance section of the Chrome settings.
