Apr 4, 2017 - Chrome rides your CPU hard, and while it is getting better about battery life, it's still no match for Safari. And if you're using an older Mac, Safari might actually perform better for you. On my 2011 MacBook Pro, starting up Chrome is a surefire way to trigger the fans and slow down the rest of my system.

Safari I guess you could say that I was. Before switching to Chrome last year, I didn’t have a “favorite” browser or “browser of choice”: I just kept jumping between Safari, Chrome, and Firefox, trying out all the features that the three major players had to offer on OS X. I’m pretty sure that, at one point, I even tried to go a full week with using Opera.

My browser requirements have always been fairly standard (several open tabs; a lot of reading; sync with mobile devices), so I could afford to change browsers without having to worry about setting up a complex environment from scratch. As I started using my iPad as my primary computer last year, I was growing increasingly annoyed with the state of iCloud sync in Safari and lack of major overhaul to a design that originally shipped with iPhone OS 1. I don’t frequently abandon systems that work for me due to, but iOS 6’s Safari exhibited a certain staleness on top of issues with bookmark and tab sync that, for me, were becoming an annoying problem. I liked Safari’s speed and native integrations with iOS, but it was prone to errors and boring. On the other hand, Google Chrome for iOS was promising, familiar, and power user-friendly.

I fell in love with Google’s for, which I integrated in several workflows of mine as it allowed me to save time when switching between apps on my iPad; sync was nearly perfect; I praised Google’s superior implementation of voice dictation and feedback, although I how their couldn’t exactly compete with Siri. Google kept pushing updates to Chrome for iOS, making it a capable browser for average and power users alike. A few weeks after publishing, I decided to uninstall Chrome from all my devices and move back to Safari as my main and only browser on my iPhone, iPad, and two Macs. I’m not looking back.

I’m happy with the new Safari – so much, in fact, that I’m even considering Reading List as my “read later” service going forward. What Happened? MacStories readers and listeners have asked about my seemingly sudden decision to stop using Chrome and go back to Safari. That’s a legitimate question – I was the one evangelizing Chrome and its feature set, criticizing Safari and Apple’s choices with iOS 6.

I don’t have a problem with Chrome the app; I have a problem with Google the company behind the browser. I excused Google when they showed me precisely targeted ads after scanning my email for keywords; when Schmidt talked about the creepy line; when they started forcing Google+ onto every Google product; even when they that a future with Apple devices would be “draconian”. But the was too much. Google has built some amazing technologies and they have a terrific team of engineers and designers working on web and native apps, but the company’s business model, dictated by ads, has forced them to embrace strategies that make me uncomfortable because they are – again – downright creepy. Google+ faces in ads were their Rubicon: because of that, I started questioning if I really had to use Google services and apps. I’m not a privacy freak and I’m not going all Richard Stallman on web services and ad-supported businesses. Heck, this website has ads.
