Chrome 89 increases desktop memory efficiency with PartitionAlloc

Google Chrome version 89 began rolling out to users in the stable channel on March 2 and should be on most people's machines by now. The new build offers significant memory savings on 64-bit Windows platforms thanks to increased use of Google's PartitionAlloc memory allocator. On macOS, Chrome 89 plays catch-up and gets closer to the performance of the flagship Windows builds.

I feel like we get these reports and promises about Chrome's performance every few months, yet Chrome keeps being the butt of jokes regarding its resource usage, especially on the Mac. Maybe this round will yield tangible improvements.
