A day after adding tab grouping capabilities, Google is moving to make Chrome a little less resource-hungry. The internet giant has announced that it will introduce a new system into the browser that will automatically detect and block ads capable of draining your laptop's battery or eating your data plan. These adverts, according to Google, only make 0.3% of all Chrome ads but account for 27% of ad-based data usage and 28% of ad CPU usage.
