Google Chrome now stops background tabs after 5 minutes

Google engineers have been working on a new feature on Chrome for Android that will soon stop background tabs after 5 minutes of inactivity. This in addition to improvising the Chrome lately for dominating the Web Browser’s section. And to take that position you’ll need to improve as much as you can.

We first found this commit in the Chromium Gerrit which showed that the team was working on improving the performance of Google Chrome on Android. This feature was originally meant to be enabled by default, but we never saw that. Then, we found another commit that mentioned the StopLoadingInBackground flag again, but this time the comment said that the feature would be on by default.

We can clearly see the summary of this new feature has been outlined here. But the gist of the story is that Google Chrome of Android is trying to improve your device’s performance. And in order to do it, you need to save the battery life first by stopping the loading of tasks and fetching of resources of a Chrome tab.  The setup computes and clears it if it is on the background for more than 5 minutes.
