That being said, one thing I hate about Chrome is its download engine. And most of my work involves writing, so I don’t have a performance problem.
That way, I can mitigate its battery hungry behavior. I make a point to only use Chrome when I am working on my desk or have a charger near-by. So, whether I like or not, there are times when I have to use Chrome. But, it’s still nowhere as good as Chrome’s library. Over the past few months, developers have released extensions for Safari, and you can find the popular ones here. The act destroyed the already anemic extension library. After Apple moved to Safari 12, it killed the existing extension library. But as much as Safari has improved over the years, it still lags behind Chrome in some areas. It also tracks your every move and shares your data (as per Google, the data is anonymized) for ads targeting. Google Chrome chugs battery on Macs like a junkie that just got its fix.
Let me start by saying that you should not be using Google Chrome on your Mac if you care about battery life and performance.
