Recently, you may have heard that Google Chrome is about to implement a RAM optimization feature similar to Microsoft Edge called Segment Heap. Previously, this feature was only available for UWP (Universal Windows Platform) applications and Microsoft, but with the latest version of Windows (version 2004), it is now available for any Win32 applications, including the renowned Google Chrome browser.
On the Chromium blog, Google representative Chrome Bruce Dawson confirmed that this feature is present in the latest Canary version of Google Chrome, specifically Version 85.0.4182.0 (Official Build) Canary (64-bit). According to Microsoft, Segment Heap has helped save up to one-third of the RAM that the Edge Chromium browser uses, and since it shares the same Chromium core, we can expect similar results when it’s implemented in Google Chrome.
If your computer has limited RAM and is running Windows 10 version 2004 (with the May 2020 Update installed), you can install and try out Chrome Canary. It will run as a separate browser from Google Chrome, so you don’t have to worry about Google Chrome being deleted. Please note that since this version is intended for developers and includes the latest features for testing, it may not be as stable as Google Chrome. However, it is generally quite safe for you to tinker with, providing a “fresh air” break if your default browser is too boring. You can download Chrome Canary here .
