MB Pro 15.4 2016 - Fan always on While Surfing with Chrome and battery life just gets sucked down extremely fast.

This doesn't happen with Safari but I hate Safari - I have to use Chrome!

Battery is new with 3 cycles!!! Please advise.

If you want Chromium you can try Edge. It is the "fixed" Chrome.

It is, and it works great.

Microsoft today is not the Microsoft of the Balmer era. One of my monitors is my connection to a free Microsoft Azure server running a Docker container under Linux. They also open source and give away a lot of their technology including web technologies like Typescript. And if you visit the Microsoft campus almost everyone is carrying a MacBook running MacOS, same as at Google or Apple campus.
