What I have noticed is that the MacBook Air gets hot on its side by the keyboard, CPU working hard, and the cooling fan running rough. Chrome is running a movie / on Demand cable channel and I'm surfing the web with Safari. Also, I like to use two windows running at the same time. Even that, I have noticed that the MacBook Air runs rougher with the Chrome. So, I don't have to tweak much just add the account in the MacBook Air and I get the best of both worlds. The reason is because I have a gmail account and bookmarks tied with Chrome. Hi! I'm running a MacBook Air with El Capitan and have both Chrome and Safari installed. I know the problem has been introduced with the OS and Apple needs to fix what even it broke and I am very annoyed currently and have absolutely no desire to move everything from chrome to safari because Apple f'd up and because I do not like safari. Everything I read on this blames Chrome and the solution is to dump chrome which for safari (of which is not privacy friendly, not that chrome is). In my experience none of the items listed here are real issues, some are perceived issues (of which I agree with, but they are still only perceived issues, not real ones), but the real issue for me and my other is that since 'el capitan' my macbook's battery sucks down to nothing (rather literally) in just a few hours with the lid shut and it is blamed on chrome, all of which makes no sense as the lid is shut so the proprietary hardware/OS combo should be in full control and able to tell chrome to go do something with itself (please spare me any excuses, none are legit), and the problem started immediately after the update, not a while after, not a while before, not when chrome was update, not gradually etc. ![]() In our tests, the fluctuations resulted in a difference of 10-20 minutes between each battery life rundown. While surely not exactly a realistic use case (everyone uses the web differently), this methodology gives a decent impression of how quickly browsers drain battery power under extreme conditions and nonstop loading of websites.
