Chrome is already one of the lightest and fastest browsers in the world, but there is always room for improvement. Google always emphasizes that even the smallest improvements make a huge difference in the user experience. With Android 4.4, Chrome becomes a bit more efficient, improving the mobile experience for users.
According to Sundar Pichai, head of Android and Chrome, the Chrome browser uses 16% less memory in Android 4.4 KitKat. This is partly what allows Android 4.4 to run on lower-end devices. The new software only requires 512 MB of RAM memory to run on a device, a requirement that is easy to fulfill with current devices.
Google is doing a great job at making Android and Chrome lighter and faster. Ultimately, this is what drives a product forward. New features are nice and all, but a smooth experience goes a long way!
