On Google Chrome 23, there’s the Do Not Track setting for users that disallows any tracking of your accounts to be made. Other parts of the original news include the GPU-accelerated video decoding for Windows version of the web browser. Dedicated graphics chips draw far less power than a CPU so using GPU-accelerated video decoding while watching videos online can increase the battery life. The YouTube video is one of the famous examples you can view on Google Chrome with this new video decoding from Google.
In their tests, the battery lasted 25% longer when this new feature is enabled so that you won’t get cut off while watching YouTube videos. Wow, bravos to Google unless you’re using Chrome 22 and below.
Now, back to Do Not Track setting, the effectiveness of such requests is dependent on how websites and services respond, so Google is working with others on a common way to respond to these requests in the future.
Lastly, with automatic updates for the browser, you will get these complete enhancements when Google Chrome 23 Final version is released. Any stage below Final will cause inaccuracies and therefore, your battery may not last anything longer.
