		dexwiz on Dec 4, 2016 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Chrome 55 uses 30% less memory than 54 Previously Chrome did not take computer DPI settings into account. Now it scales the UI with DPI settings. I found my laptop was at 125% scaling without me knowing. http://techdows.com/2016/10/fix-chrome-54-looks-zoomed-in.ht...

On Linux on my 32" 4K screen Chromium automatically scales to 150% or so and the top chrome is the height of a Coke can.

I have to start the process with "--force-device-scale-factor=1" to make it stop.
