Those with '10 MBP who use Chrome, forced to use another browser?

Loving the chrome support. Not only is it fast but just seems so stripped down. Not in a bad way either. Just discovered the adblock extension which makes it even better.

I would use Chrome (and I hate to say this while not wearing my tinfoil hat ) but I really don’t want Google to know more information about me than they already do.

I dont have to worry about it, I have a 13 incher. Does it take up more cpu or anything too? or just graphics?

Question, what about 13'' makes you not worry about it? I understand it has only one graphics card or something so does that mean even when using chrome vs safari it would basically use the same amount of battery?

The reason people are complaining is because it kicks on the more powerful videocard in the 15/17" models. The 13" doesn't have a second GPU so it makes no difference.

BetterTouch Tool, it is an amazing app that basically revolutionizes the way that you use your trackpad(or magic mouse) with any app on your mac by creating custom gestures for specific actions.

I'm not sure about the effects on battery, nor how much ram or cpu either of the browsers use. I just assumed I didnt have to worry since it doesnt have dedicated graphics, nor the ability to switch between cards.
