![]() Firefox was the worst offender in all but one round of testing - often taking up 200MB more than Chrome, and up to 1GB less than Edge. In our testing of Chrome, Firefox and Edge memory management this past February, on Windows, we saw that each of those browsers takes up a lot of memory. Now, it's using PartitionAlloc everywhere on Chrome on 64-bit Windows and Android. Previously, Chrome only utilized PartitionAlloc for Blink, its rendering engine. This is enabled with Google's memory allocator PartitionAlloc, which is optimizing for efficiency. Chang broke down the memory savings into three different sections: up to 22% improvements in the browser process, 8% in the rendering and 3% in GPU. Over on Windows, where Chrome is king (~71% according to Netmarketshare (opens in new tab)), there are even bigger improvements. But performance is only one of the big features Apple promotes for its browser: higher privacy is the other, and one that Chrome doesn't seem to have on its to-do list. ![]() ![]() If word gets around that this new Chrome is that much better for your Mac, it could help Google peck away at Safari's 36% of the macOS desktop browser share (according to NetMarketShare (opens in new tab)).
