Although Google updates regularly Chrome for Mac, but only in recent months has it started to make changes that are also favorable from an aesthetic point of view. A significant innovation is, for example, the energy-saving mode, which aims to increase battery life MacBooku, zooming has been added to the method Safari and at the end of last year it was Chrome enriched with 64-bit architecture support. Browser from Apphowever, lu still has a few features that make it stand out from the competition. In addition to smoother animations, it is also the speed of the browser, and it seems that it is on this front that Google decides to attack Apple.
Upcoming version Chrome 46 is supposed to bring drastic acceleration and the browser is currently as fast as the first version that came out 6 years ago. The latest Chrome it is much faster, it only needs half the memory compared to today's version and most importantly, you won't hear the fan in your MacBookat. It was the last mentioned problem that people often complained about when using Chrome, and it seems that Google has now fixed it.onehe solved it. Various improvements are to blame for this, including better work with the graphics chip and a function that puts unused bookmarks to sleep when the browser does not have enough operating memory. Google has also made sure that the browser does not have problems with displaying ads. On the contrary Apple v Safari 9.0 offers a Content Blocker feature that allows you to turn it off JavaScripts and ads that unnecessarily reduce battery life.

Ok, so I tried it.
It's not bad, it's really fast, much faster than Safari or other browsers.
Combined with Ghostery, the speed is even higher and fast loading is more efficient.
Translation from English is not working for me, and I can't even set it up, which is probably because my system language is US English and Chrome is set accordingly, manual change in Chrome is not possible and RTFM google says that it can only be done via a system change in OS X preferences. I really don't understand this approach of programmers.
I couldn't get the fans to spin, but I didn't stress test it in any particular way.
Firefox 39.0.3 is running in Czech. I solved the translation with a plugin. As fast as Chrome but it is not.
It still holds true that the Cruz is probably the most battery-efficient (it lasts almost an hour longer than the Safari) https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cruz/id402357089?mt=12
Exciting icons google drive, youtube and gmail can be easily removed using Cleanmymac.
And one more detail, it takes 196MB after installation.
Anyway Chrome I leave it on the machines with Windows, probably has no competition there. On the Mac, I stick with Firefox, which I've been used to since the days of Netscape and the first Mozilla.
IE has never suited me, it is the most buggy and the least secure.
Safari It is also very slow (compared to Firefox, Opera and Google), even though it is user friendly.
I would probably give Chrome the biggest minus for snooping, I don't believe that spyware is not present in it, even if you manually turn off all reports...
For those who don't care about privacy, business documents, trade secrets, etc., in combination with Ghostery it is currently the most powerful browser.
I have a question:
is there any way to solve this + synchronize the "reading list", which is in Safari and so that I can see this list in Chrome on W7?
