For Mac users, Safari is the standard out-of-the-box browser installed on new devices. Most users prefer a web browser with better functionality than Safari. Chrome is harder on a Mac’s battery life than Apple’s native Safari browser. However, Chrome comes out ahead of Safari in terms of browsing speed, extensions, and video loading capabilities. Safari does have many of Chrome’s features such as tab syncing across devices and auto-filling based on previous searches. Mozilla Firefox is another commonly used web browser among Mac users, though its memory usage knocks it down on the list of competitors. The main draw to Mozilla Firefox over Chrome is that because Firefox is open source, nothing fishy is going on behind the scenes. Google is notorious for capturing and using data which rightfully makes people uncomfortable.
Mac users tend to do things their own way. You’ve opted for the non-mainstream computer hardware, so using the native installed Safari browser seems in character. Safari’s minimalist look draws Mac users in as well. Google Chrome is much more 'going along with the crowd'. Putting that aside, Mac owners should dig into what they really use their web browsers for, and determine if data privacy or features is more important to them. Better yet, why not have two browsers?
Yes. For Mac users, Google Chrome’s quick speed and helpful features makes it an excellent web browser choice. Google’s controversial collection of personal and usage data is sure to make some pause on whether to install Chrome or not. However, if you are comfortable or indifferent to Google’s data collection, go for it; the browser's overall functionality is impressive.

Owners of Apple’s super-thin new MacBook are being told to avoid using Google Chrome if they want to squeeze the most battery life out of their portable.
The informal warning, which comes by way of tech site The Verge, is not being made based ideology or an anti-Google whim. Ever notes app.
It’s being based solely based on Chrome’s own poor power efficiency when running on the new 12-inch Retina MacBook, released earlier this month.
In tests run by The Verge using Chrome on the new MacBook reduces overall battery life by three and a half hours versus Safari.
That’s a pretty huge difference.
(In Chrome’s defence there is a possible (alleged) reason why the browser has sucked of late, both figuratively and, in this case, literally: the built-in crash/error reporter on OS X, the silent part that let’s developer’s know about bugs, quirks and issues that affect performance, which in turn can impact on battery life, was not — allegedly — working in Yosemite until recently).
The Verge’s tests are not necessarily indicative of the way everyone will use Chrome, and which don’t account for the fact that Apple has the benefit of being able to tailor their browser for a specific set of processor types.
Even so, the results are still pretty shocking.
The new MacBook was shown to last for 13 hours and 18 minutes when set to cycle websites in Safari, but only bailing at 9 hours and 45 minutes, meaning Apple-loving Chrome users will be reaching for their USB Type-C chargers far sooner than intrepid Safari users.
Even I have to admit, as I type this, that my own 2013 MacBook Pro takes a noticeable hit in battery life when I’m running Chrome versus the exact same tasks in Safari.
Criticism of the browser’s overall start-up times and general performance is also growing, no doubt addled by the bundling of app launchers, notification centres, background Google Drive functionality and continued popularity of extensions to the once nimble browser.
As useful as these feature may be they are often running continually in the background, using up resources.
Let’s hope Google start to tackle some of these complaints head on. A good start might be to add the rumored extension resource monitor feature.
