Windows Latest reports that PartitionAlloc-everywhere will be merged with Chrome allowing the browser to start faster, load internal pages faster, and offer improved resources management (reduced RAM usage) therefore making it become less sluggish.The tech giant has been working on this feature since last year and will soon roll out in Chrome’s next update but before this, it will be available via the beta channel of Chrome for Android and Windows. According to the report PartitionAlloc will be released for Linux too but has encountered some issues and it’s still unclear when it will be enabled in the stable channel.However, Google’s engineer in a Chromium bug post wrote, “Switch to PartitionAlloc on Linux. This is already the default on Windows and Android and has been shipping to the beta on both platforms. Nevertheless, issues may remain on Linux,”Also, Google is also experimenting so as to reduce memory usage and contribute to better performance by merging the regular and aligned partitions.The company says, “Having two separate partitions is required when the regular one doesn’t provide the desired alignment. Without that, it’s beneficial performance and memory-wise to have a single partition. Performance is better since aligned allocations (which are actually plentiful in Chromium) can leverage the thread cache. Memory footprint improves from lower fragmentation, and not paying the fixed cost of partition metadata,” Moreover, Google is also working on PartitionAlloc-Everywhere for Android in addition to Windows 10 and Linux this is either neutral or a win for memory, performance andstability, with the exception of median GPU process footprint, which regresses by a small amount, but is being addressed.Similar to Google, Microsoft is also working on new ideas to reduce memory usage of Edge.

After launching Koo, an alternative to Twitter the Indian government has now launched Sandes which is an instant messaging platform. The app is also an Indian government alternative to WhatsApp developed by NIC (National Informatics Center).While users are happy with the latest WhatsApp policy change and have been trying out various alternatives to the messaging app the government of India has developed and launched Sandes messaging app. The all is now ready for download and is accessible to everyone however earlier it was only available for government officials. With the launch of Sandes the PM Narendra Modi’s Digital India and Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative is expected to get a boost while many WhatsApp users in India are still trying out different messaging apps. The Sandes messaging app is free to download and use with add-free experience. It should be noted that when the messaging app is downloaded on your device the app’s name is displayed as GIMS (Government Instant Messaging System) because the new platform is an upgrade to the existing GIMS that was developed NIC (National Informatics Center), which is part of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) aimed as an alternative to WhatsApp.The app is available for download in an APK file and is compatible with Android 5.0 and later. The app is not live on the Google Play Store but through the government’s GIMS portal. However, iOS users can simply download it through the Apps Store for devices running on iOS 12.0 and above.Once you have downloaded the app akin to other similar apps you need to sign up on the Sandes app using your mobile number or email ID. You will be receiving a six-digit OTP for authentication. It is worth noting that now Email IDs including Gmail, Hotmail, or other email accounts are allowed to register with the app. The only official @gov.in emails are allowed to register for the app while regular users are restricted to phone numbers only.After signing up you can edit your profile and can also update your status too similar to WhatsApp. Although most of its features work similar to how you operate WhatsApp but there are some differences in both the instant messaging apps. The first major difference we have already explained is that one can also choose to register using a mobile number and now E-Mail IDs for the Sandes app however Signing up with emails is restricted to government officials using @gov.in email IDs to sign in. The Indian messaging app also supports verified accounts for government employees that WhatsApp doesn’t offer. In addition to this Sandes also gives you an option to send chat backups to your emails which is not possible in the case of WhatsApp where the chats are backed up to Google Drive or iCloud only.But sadly using Sandes you are not allowed to switch to another mobile number or email ID once signed up whereas WhatsApp comes with a dedicated Change Number feature to change from an old phone number to a new one.Apart from this, the former one s allows users to share videos or photos with up to 500MB on the other hand the latter one gives an option to send videos with 16MB and regular files up to 100MB. Sandes also lacks key security features such as fingerprint lock feature and screen lock feature which we hope to be offered at a later stage. But it lets you check the weather details of your city in the app itself. Meanwhile, it includes all the other features akin to WhatsApp such as status, disappearing messages, forward messages, delete messages, archive chats and more.
