Google is set to roll out a significant update to its Chrome web browser. According to reports, Chrome version 148 is expected to be released in mid-April, promising faster and more efficient browsing for users.
One of the key features being tested in this update is lazy loading for videos and audio. Lazy loading is a technology that delays the loading of non-essential or off-screen resources until they are needed. This improves page load performance and reduces bandwidth usage.
Currently, Chrome supports lazy loading for images, which means that images on a webpage load only when they come into view, rather than loading all at once.
The upcoming extension to videos and audio will ensure that these media files load only when required, helping pages load more quickly.
The update will be available across Chrome’s desktop version as well as Android and iOS devices, providing a smoother and more responsive browsing experience across platforms.
