One key thing to note here is that this is the latest version of Chrome of 2020, so it's basically the best Google has to offer this year. Let's talk about the new features first.
In the latest version, you get a search function for the tabs. As the name suggests, it allows you to search for one or more tabs that you are looking for. It will come to Chromebooks first and then roll out to other desktop platforms.
Google added another feature that could be useful for a lot of people. Chrome Actions lets you type a command directly into the address bar and use it as a shortcut for everyday tasks.
For example, if you type "change passwords" in the address bar, you will receive an action button among other suggestions. Click on the button and you will come to the change passwords page.
The company also announced "maps" for the tabs in Google Chrome. It works by creating maps relevant to your recent tabs in the browser.
So, if you lose a recipe that you were watching, or a gift that you were browsing, you can get it back in the corresponding section. Google also said more "experimental" features will come to the browser starting next year.
As for performance now, we like Chrome, but we don't like what it does to the system RAM. Google says Chrome will now start 25% faster, charge 7% faster, and use less RAM and battery.
The browser will now prioritize active tabs, reducing CPU usage by up to 5 times and adding up to 1.25 hours to your battery life. Another performance improvement of the Android version is to bring almost instantaneous background movement between pages.
With these new features and performance updates, Google has just added more power to the Chrome web browser. It remains to be seen how these changes affect actual browser usage.
