New Delhi: Internet giant Google has rolled out a new update for Chrome –Chrome 45. Updates Chrome to version manages memory better by freeing up memory on a tab that's idle. It has better battery efficiency for smartphones as well.

Here are a few things about the update:

•The guys at Google, in a blog post yesterday, talked about a whole bunch of new changes based around freeing up your resources.

•The new update, however, makes it a little smarter about the process. Now, the most recently viewed tabs restore first.

•Chrome will also detect if your computer is running low on RAM and stop restoring the rest of your tabs to save your memory.

•Google says the new update can reduce website memory usage by 10 percent of average but, with more complex apps like Gmail, reduce memory usage by up to a whopping 25 percent.

•Another change is the addition of a setting that will auto pause flash content that's not central to the website.

•The changes will be activated as default over the next few weeks.
