En Soy de Mac You will never see us speak well about Google Chrome, not because it is not developed by Apple nor because we have some special hobby, but because of the poor performance and high resource consumption it offers that any computer managed by macOS. Google is aware of this problem but seems to either don't care or don't know how to fix it.
One more proof of how badly optimized Google Chrome for Mac is, we find it in the operation and performance problems it offers in Final Cut Pro X, if the video editing application for macOS. If Chrome is open, Final Cut suffers its performance, slowing down its operation, crashing the application or even closing unexpectedly.
Felipe Baez, creative director and founder of Cre8ive Beast has published a tweet in which he explains that Chrome is the problem of the functional problems that some users are suffering with Final Cut Pro X. According to him, he has discovered that the browser, once runs, makes continuous use of the VideoToolBox framework and monopolizes its use, affecting and causes unexpected crashes in Apple's video editing application.
Felipe claims that his Mac registered 300% processor usage when Final Cut and Google Chroe were running, causing the Apple application to quit unexpectedly. Before reopening the application, he previously closed Chrome, and verified that the use that this browser made of VideoToolBox had disappeared and Final Cut was working again without any problems.
Felipe also states that the encoding time of a video is increased by 30% if during that process, we have Chrome open in the background. Without a doubt the situation of Chrome on Mac is unfortunate wherever you look, but for many users the integration it offers with Google services is fantastic. If you can't get rid of Google, try to close it whenever you can.

In my case I like it better than Safari.
It is a pity that such an expensive computer is unable to handle it properly. It is clear that for professional use Windows is the best and the Mac is for use by ordinary people.
For Chrome if it has Safari
What they say in this article is typical of people who do not read well or review well the applications they use. This guy Felipe hasn't discovered anything. The Google Chrome browser, both on Mac and Windows, uses graphic acceleration. If you are going to edit with Final Cut Pro X and use Chrome, the correct thing is that you deactivate the graphic acceleration in the browser configuration options. It's as if you wanted to edit in Final Cut Pro X, and you had another editing application running at the same time just like Premiere or After Effects. I use Chrome with the graphic acceleration disabled and what Felipe has just discovered "doesn't happen to me."
The problem in my case Jesus, is that it does not give me the option to open its configuration, as soon as I open Google Chrome it freezes my entire MacBook and I can wait half an hour and it does not unfreeze ...
Chrome has been the best for web development, it has allowed us to use great standards and get rid of the burden that we had with Internet Explorer on Windows, on MacOS I have never had problems when using it in conjunction with other programs
Luckily, I thought it was the only thing that happened to him ... surfing in chrome with mac on sports newspaper websites or portals with google adsense ads or many videos is hell ...
Aware of the problems generated by Google Chrome, for me it is essential to use it for my work, which is required by my boss for all the integration of services as you indicated; But I have had a serious problem since Google began to freeze my entire MacBook from one moment to another, using all my resources, I was forced to turn it off since there was no other way out. I uninstalled the application and downloaded it again, the problem continued and the most terrible thing and that my MacBook crashed and there was no way for it to go from the block to the beginning. I became so afraid of him that I no longer dare to install it again but my boss pressures me since I am not in the working group that he uses with Google. Do you think you could help me solve that problem? I would be eternally grateful ... ❤️
