3 simple steps to make chrome faster on your android device.

If you've ever used or you're using Chrome, you should have noticed by now how it starts to get very slow with time. Many like Google Chrome because of how it easily synchronises your bookmark and history over from the desktop and how it makes you feel safe because you're more sure that your personal data is not being leaked to someone somewhere. As the the clock goes tick tock, on the contrary, you forget about all the fun you've ever had with it due to how sluggish it becomes and you just feel like switching to another browser. All hope is never lost, it can be fixed. Now let's check out how.

  • Clear cache data: Clearing cache is one tweak that works for every single app and Chrome is no different. Clearing chrome's cached data in your settings will make chrome feel like how it was when you first downloaded it; that smooth and speedy app. Clearing the cache will remove some saved pages, bookmarks and some other junks you will never need. To clear it's cached data, go to Setting>applications(apps)  and then select chrome. In the next screen, tap "clear cache" and when the pop-up appears, tap 'okay'. You can also do same by tapping the chrome menu>settings>privacy>clear browsing data. 
  • Save data: Chrome has a feature that allows you to access very huge sized sites at a much lower size. This feature which is under chrome's settings is named, "data saver". What this feature does is that it sends the link you want to access to a third party server which compresses the size and displays it to you in a lower size. This feature does not only help save data but it also helps you speed up your surfing on Chrome as well.  To activate this, go to Chrome's menu>Settings>data saver> and then you switch it on.

  • Allocate more RAM: Chrome also has some hidden settings which cannot be accessed in the normal settings but can be done by typing special chrome commands in the address bar. These features are called flags. They are there for experimental purposes but you can use them without fear but they may not be there after sometime. To access the flag for allocating more RAM for Chrome, copy and paste "chrome://flags/#max-tiles-for-interest-area" (without the "") into the address bar and tap go. When it is done loading, select "maximum tiles for interest area" then allocate the RAM. Note that it is advisable to allocate 512 only if your RAM is 2gb or above but if less, then allocate 256 or less.
