Google is set to make its Chrome browser faster than ever with a new set of compression algorithm. That statement was released by no other than its web performance engineer Iya Grigorik. The algorithm, which is called Brotli, was introduced by the tech giant last September.
With the help of Brotli, Chrome will now be able to compress data up to 26 per cent more than its current compression algorithm called Zopfli. Brotli is said to make web pages smaller, which in turn will save on loading time and data usage.
Grigorik said that Brotli is ready to be incorporated into Chrome, so users should expect to experience a few bumps and errors in loading times once the new version of the browser is released. Google also released a statement saying that with the new compression algorithm, it should help mobile Chrome users incur lower data transfer fees and reduced battery use.
Brotli being introduced to Android phones would boost the speed of Chrome on the said phones when it handles the compressed content. It has been noticed in the past that Chrome has been using an inexcusable amount of RAM in computers, which in turn affects their overall performance.
It has been observed that computers or laptops with less than 4GB RAM often struggle after the user opens 10-12 Chrome tabs. Chrome's use of too much RAM affects the battery life of laptops, consuming about 20 to 30 per cent.
The search engine company is hailing Brotli to be the new data format to be adapted by other web browsers as well in the future. There are hints that Firefox will likely be the next browser to be adopting this new algorithm soon. This was recently confirmed by Firefox, but it has not given any dates on when to expect the said update to happen.
