Abstract: A browser divides content pages into tiles for display on a user device, and updates the tiles that become “damaged” as the result of user interactions or other events. The browser may decide whether and/or when to update a damaged off-screen tile based partly or wholly on a predicted likelihood that the user will scroll to that tile or that the tile will otherwise become visible on the user device.

In addition, the decision may be based on a measure of visual impact associated with deferring the update.
