The Google Chrome browser on Android devices is losing speed Over time, one of the things that slows it down a bit is the cache load. But it is not the only thing we can do to accelerate it, through Flags performance can be improved.
To make Google Chrome run faster on Android There are at least two steps to take if you want it to work like the first day and even a little better. The popular browser has been improving with the launch of the versions, being one of the most used by the android community.
How to make Google Chrome run faster
The first and fundamental thing is to clear the cache, once you delete this, the temporary files will be deleted and it does not affect the phone at all. It is good to do it at least once a month if you want to eliminate junk files, especially when it comes to remembering certain pages, loading images and more.
To clear the cache in Google Chrome you have to do the following:
- Access the Settings of your Android phone
- Look for the option «Applications» and find the Google Chrome app, click on it
- Search for "Storage" and click on "Empty cache"
It usually takes up quite a few megabytes, with this you will make the browser work better when cleaning, which despite being superficial is good when it comes to loading. The cache, like any application, is used to improve the loading system, but it is not always positive if you want better performance from an application.
Hardware acceleration
This option will be inside Flags, it is one of the functions that for the moment are experimental and just activate it if you want the browser to work faster. The performance is remarkable once you activate it, so if you have not done it before, it would be best to try it on your device.
To activate Hardware Acceleration you have to do the following:
- Launch your Google Chrome browser on Android
- In the search bar put "Chrome: // flags"
- Once all the options are open, it is best to look at the top for "hardware-accelerated video decode", activate the option with "Enabled"
- Restart the device for the change to take effect so that you can now better see the hardware performance
Navigation will improve over previously, either by clearing the cache or by hardware acceleration, a feature that is proven to improve 25%. Flags functions are many, between them activate Google Assistant y Google Lens function on different images.
