When Google announced its open-source project, Chromium, everyone was excited about it. Google took its open-source Chromium project and built a web browser based on it called Google Chrome. It was quite astonishing in the initial versions. To be precise, faster than other browsers, which made everyone switch to Google Chrome in the end. But slowly, users started complaining about the RAM usage, and the reports were accurate.
Recently, Google announced a significant update to Google Chrome. Instead of improving, it degraded the performance of Google Chrome.

As per the test results posted on Github by a user @krausest, it revealed that after the Chrome 80 update, the Chrome browser is 30% slower compared to Chrome 79, the previous version of Google Chrome. Google announced this update with a bunch of features, but it looks like it still needs a little polishing to be done.
