Google updates Chrome browser with battery-saving feature

Google has released a Chrome browser update with a video decoding enhancement that the company claims will help users save battery life. The feature, available for Chrome on Windows, cuts power consumption by executing video decoding on graphics processing units instead of on computers' CPUs, Google said in a blog post. This is because dedicated graphics chips require much less power than computers' CPUs, resulting in a 25 percent increase in battery life in Google tests.
