According to the latest update, google Chrome and Microsoft Edge have gained a fresh capability called “Selective format read,” which improves the way these browsers handle content from the clipboard, reports Android Authority.
As part of the ongoing story, this could lead to unnecessary memory usage and delays when users pasted content. Previously, browsers would load all the information contained in the clipboard—such as text, HTML, images, and other data formats—even if a web app only required plain text.
As part of the ongoing story, the web app then requests only the format it needs. With the fresh capability, the browser first asks what types of data are in the clipboard.
Industry observers note that the improvement applies automatically to all websites without developers needing to make any changes. Selective format read is already available in version 149 of both Chrome and Edge, enabled by default.
