Hidden Tips to make
Chrome fast…
Recently, in 2012, Google Chrome has become the most
popular browser for its flexibility, stability and simplicity. There is no
doubt that it is faster and an advanced browser
with advanced features designed for all. Though sometimes it becomes
slower comparing your requirements, PC hardware and imagination. For these
reasons Google chrome will let you modify and make the browser more suitable in
your working environment.
Have you noticed your usually speedy
Google Chrome browser slowing down, or even crashing on you? Unnecessary
plugins, extensions, and even browsing data can slow your browser down to a
crawl, or make it crash. Here’s how to fix it. In this article, we’ll show you setting
priorities, disabling automatic updates, enabling GPU, configuring settings,
disable developer mode, how to disable plugins and extensions and clear
browsing data to speed up Chrome and prevent it from crashing on you.
Note: All these tips are same for Google Chrome 19 or above versions.
1. Set high priority to Google Chrome process.
Windows OS shares the processor time between all running
processes based upon their priority. Setting the higher priority to a
process means that the process is more important to the operating system
compared other low priority processes. This will gear-up the start-up
time and browsing speed of the browser. To set a high priority to Google
Chrome, open the Windows Task Manager
by pressing "Ctrl+Shift+Esc" together
or right clicking on Task bar on desktop
and left click on Start task Manager, then
go to processes. Then run the Browser and from Task Manager find out the
chrome.exe. Right click on it and set the priority high, which would
be Below Normal by default.
2. Disable Google Chrome automatic updates.
This will stop the Google chrome update process "GoogleUpdater.exe" and let the
browser work more lightly every time. It helps the browser start-up more
quickly. It also save some CPU and RAM usages.
3. Enabling GPU acceleration and composting.
Now-a-days web pages are more and more graphically designed for the
users. So the web browsers are implementing hardware acceleration
technology for GPU. This will help the browser to accelerate the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) signals on
pages.
