WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY. WE CAN MAKE CHROME BETTER THAN IT WAS BEFORE

- MARSHALL GUNNELL

Google Chrome, the most popular web browser for PC users, initially delivers a fast and responsive browsing experience. However, over time, Chrome can become sluggish due to factors like cache files, extensions, and resource consumption.

There are many ways to improve Chrome’s performance, such as keeping your browser up to date, clearing the cache, and taking advantage of some available special features. Here are nine fairly simple ways to keep Google Chrome running as fast as possible.

1. ALWAYS UPDATE CHROME 

Updating Google Chrome to the latest version ensures that you have the most recent performance improvements, bug fixes, and security updates. Google frequently provides updates to its browser, so it’s important to always stay up to date.

Chrome is designed to update automatically in the background when you close your browser. If you’re like the many out there who almost never close their browsers, you should check for an update.

Chrome will place a button in the topright corner of the browser window when it’s time for an update. Just click it to update Chrome. If you don’t see it, in the top-right corner of the window, click the three vertical dots (…) > Help > About Google Chrome. Here, Chrome will check and install updates. Click Relaunch to finish updating Chrome. Chrome will close, so make sure you don’t have any unfinished work open in a tab.
