Will this make Chrome any less of a battery hog? Because I easily get three extra hours using Safari as opposed to Chrome.

Brave is excellent.

Safari on iOS is good. Safari on mac is just fine. Chrome is better. Safari on windows... is a pain. Chrome leaped light years.

Safari on Windows was killed years ago.

No thanks I like browsing websites without my fans ramping up to full speed.

This. I quit using chrome a year ago because I was sick of my CPU being pegged and hot enough to boil eggs.

I just got a new Mac. Chrome is going near that thing. Once great, I now consider Chrome pollution.

iCab has returned, and is my new go to browser on MacOS and iOS.

Still spyware for the second largest harvester of our personal information.

so who cares if it offers other protection. It’s like the wolf offering bear insurance to the chickens.

Yup, Google tracks everything you do. Install a software firewall like Little Snitch and watch Chrome’s behaviour. Chrome completely sells you out. Facebook is just as bad, but is sloppy at hiding it.

I don't understand why this misinformation keeps getting voted up so much on MacRumors articles. Chrome is not spyware. It does not track everything you do, unless you log in with a Google account and ask it to do so. Logged in and with the appropriate setting turned on, your browsing history is saved to your Google account in order to provide a number of features that users find useful. But, it's completely optional. Real spyware does not offer a privacy policy nor offer the ability to control what data is shared.

I heard about Brave but it sounds a little too much on the too good to be true side of things. Everything about sounds like what we want but the policy is what we need to dig in to.
