PartitionAlloc-everywhere will speed things up by starting the browser faster, loading internal pages faster and also offering improved resources management. This essentially leads to reduced RAM usage on the device.

Windows latest adds that Google has been working on this feature last year. Is now rolling out this feature to Chrome channels in beta on Android and Windows. Google is adding support for Linux as well but it reportedly has a lot of issues.

“Switch to PartitionAlloc on Linux. This is already the default on Windows and Android, and has been shipping to the beta on both platforms. Nevertheless, issues may remain on Linux,” a Google engineer wrote in a Chromium bug post.

Google also worked on another experiment where it merged Chrome dragula and aligned partitions to see if this could help boost the browser's performance.

The search giant is also working on testing support for Android. According to the report this test has so far resulted in improving the memory performance and stability of Chrome on Android. but it did see a small decrease in the median GPU process frontprint.

This is currently available in beta and Google is expected to roll out with the next update for Chrome.
