Google is working on the next update to the chrome web browser and it seems that they are shooting for a much faster user experience.
The new code won’t really speed the rate your data downloads from the internet. But instead, it speeds up the user experience by blocking the biggest data hogs, namely – images, videos, and code such as javascript.
This new mode would (if it works) make the internet a more enjoyable experience by budgeting system resources and render a “quick view” that would limit things from load such as…
Images over 1MB
Stylesheets over 100KB
Scripts over 50KB
The main idea is that page execution beyond these limits would stop processing until a user interacts with the webpage. (Thus a faster load time) Only time will tell if this works in the real world and if such a major change would be long lasting. As most google product seem to suffer from “Code creep” that may add too many exceptions or options to make it useful in the long run.
