Link Safe

One of the most widely used browsers for Android is Chrome. A user friendly, smaller brother to the desktop version, it occasionally stumbles when too many tabs are open and runs into trouble scrolling

through webpages.

Both problems can be easily resolved. If too many tabs are open, switch to the tab selector, tap the menu button and select the Close option. You should then see Chrome’s performance improve. Scrolling lags can be quickly resolved by opening the browser and pointing it to chrome://flags. You’ll notice the warning in this screen – don’t make any random changes as they may spoil your Chrome experience. Scroll down to ‘Maximum tiles for interest area’ and change this from Default to 512.

At the foot of the screen you should see the Relaunch Now button – tap this to close and reopen Chrome. More RAM has been made available to Chrome, although note that other apps may have been closed to make provision for this.
