Chrome to skip low priority tasks until shutdown to reduce memory use
#1
Information 
[Image: chrome-skip-best-effort-tasks.png]
Quote:Google is working on a new memory reducing feature for the company's Chrome web browser. The new function, called "Skip best effort tasks" landed in Chrome Canary just recently; it is designed to skip certain low priority tasks during runtime to improve memory use of the web browser. The skipped tasks will be executed during shutdown instead, according to the provided description.

Skip best effort tasks is not enabled by default in Chrome Canary. It is available as an experimental flag and a startup parameter; which of the two you use is up to you.

Here is how you enable the flag in Chrome:

  1. Make sure Chrome Canary is up to date.

  2. Load chrome://flags/#disable-best-effort-tasks in the browser's address bar; doing so should open the right flag.

  3. Set the status of the flag to enabled.

  4. Restart the Chrome browser.

You may also start Chrome with the parameter --disable-best-effort-tasks for the same effect.
