Chrome will apologize with the old technology to greatly speed up

Google's developers are working on implementing a "new kind of" cache into the browser that will make Chrome faster. Incidentally: it is an old technology, derived from WebKit.

The Chrome browser uses a Blink rendering engine, but it is not a Google invention. In fact, it is almost identical to the mechanism created by Apple WebKit, known even from the Safari browser. Blink is a so-called WebKit forks, which means that one day Google said that it has a better idea for its further development and began to improve it on its own. Hence the name change, despite the fact that these solutions are very close to each other.

The decision seems to be right. Blink seems to be a much more willingly used mechanism for processing websites than WebKit - it is used, inter alia, by Opera Software or Microsoft. However, this small volley was not without sacrifices.

A web-based BFCache mechanism was devoted to Chrome, thanks to which we could instantly return to the websites visited.

BFCache (back / forward cache) is a cache mechanism that stores data from recently visited websites. However, this is not only about the page files, but also about the entire state of the web application being launched. And so processed and already scripted, graphic elements or even the place where the user finished scrolling.

According to Google's research , 10 percent websites on PC and 19 percent. on mobile devices are those that we have displayed by pressing the back or away button. The problem is that Chrome does not have a BFCache mechanism. It keeps cached temporary files of the site, but every time we return to it, it is processed again. The difference is that from files from local storage.

BFCache has been present in WebKit since 2002. Its equivalent is in the Gecko engine used by Firefox since 2005. Google, however, has not been able to adapt it to the way in which Chrome launches its subsequent processes. That is why he gave up on him.

Chrome will be faster and more battery friendly for our devices.

Google, however, does not expect the implementation of BFCache for Chrome this year, because it requires many improvements in the operation of the browser itself. In addition, the disadvantage of this mechanism is the increased memory usage of the device - and Chrome has big problems with it anyway.

The benefits, however, seem to outweigh the potential problems. Websites and web applications will not only instantly appear to us on the screen, but also will not have to be recycled by the processor of our device, which in turn will translate into lower energy consumption of this device. It is a pity that we still have to wait so much.
