Chrome Speed Up |
Even though Google Chrome is quite a fast browser, oftentimes we have to impatiently wait for a download to complete or a page to load or perhaps for a file to upload. So, it’s wise to keep a few tricks to speed up Google Chrome up your sleeve for those days when your connection is typically slow.
Using more extensions ultimately slows down Google Chrome. When we come across a shiny, new extension, we feel like we would use it every day, but often we forget about it and it runs in the background slowing it down. You can check if such
extensions are using up too much memory by clicking on the wrench menu beside the Address Bar and using the View Background Pages option. If you find any extension that you haven’t been using recently (or will not, in the future) then disable them.
Disable Anti-phishing Filter
While I wouldn’t suggest this to everyone, you can disable the anti-phishing filter of Google Chrome if you have basic knowledge of phishing websites and know how to avoid and stop them from jeopardizing your internet presence. Disabling it is pretty easy:Go to Wrench icon> Options> Under the hood> Privacy> Uncheck the ‘Enable phishing and malware protection’ option. This will considerably speed up Google Chrome by saving internet bandwidth.
Tweak Around With Configuration Settings
We often leave these settings at default, or get distracted by new features, but optimizing the configuration settings will not only make it clutter-free but also significantly speed up the browser.Connect with your Gmail account only if you work on different computers and really need to sync bookmarks and extensions.
Uncheck the ‘Show Bookmark Bar’ (you’ll still see it in a New Tab) and ‘Show Home Button’.
Regularly clear browsing data.
Un-tick the Developer Mode (Wrench icon> Tools> Extensions)
Google Chrome automatic updates can be disabled to reduce CPU and RAM usage resulting in quick booting of the browser. It’s wise to uncheck it during Google Chrome set up; if you already have it installed then you can disable it later.
