A few days ago Google released update number 56 of its Chrome browser, both for Windows and macOS. Chrome has always been seen as a freak on MacBooks due to excessive resource consumption, which causes a considerable reduction in battery life. On desktop computers there is no problem, since we don't have to worry about it running out of battery. Each new update released by Google Chrome ensures that resource consumption has been reduced again. Many are the users who have left it as impossible and have not checked again if Chrome can be an option to consider or not in their MacBooks.
This latest Chrome update offers us a lower consumption of resources, according to the details of this new version, something that I stopped believing many months ago after so much talk from Google. As my colleague informed you, this new version, like that of Firefox, informs us every time we access an unsecured web page, that is, it is not HTTPS, when we enter a password in the forms that are displayed.
Another novelty, we find it in the support for FLAC format, thus increasing the compatibility with more audio formats. One aspect that has also improved a lot is the time it takes to reload a page when we press F5, 28% faster since it does not request all the information from the server again, but only requests the data that may have changed since the last visit. Finally, heFlash technology is disabled by defaultSo if we want to activate it for a specific website, Chrome will ask us for permission to do so and enter it in a list of websites with Flash technology authorized to be loaded on the computer.
