Chrome does cause overheating of Mac laptops Go into Chrome Settings > Performance and turn off these three settings: Memory, Power, Speed and the overheating will stop. My 2017 and 2016 MacBook Pros were over heating and the battery would discharge rapidly. After turning off the three mentioned settings, the overheating and battery rapid discharging has stopped - at least for now.

Google Chrome Crashing (Spinning Beach Ball) on MacBook Pro M1 Pro 14 Google Chrome is crashing on me every time I launch it, within 5-10 seconds I am faced with the dreaded spinning beach ball. I am using a 14-inch 2021 MacBook Pro, with the M1 Pro chip and 16GB of RAM - so I should not be seeing these types of issues. I need to use Chrome for work purposes, as I need to use some particular extensions that are not available on Safari. I have tried everything I can think of in terms of troubleshooting (i.e., uninstalling and reinstalling, clearing app data and cache, using CleanMyMac X to check for any malware, etc.). I have been using Chrome for years, with zero issues. Can anyone help?

Safari loads extremely slow Issue - Woke up this morning and my safari is loading pages in minutes instead of seconds. Chrome running normally. I have gigabyte internet. All was well last night running great. Everything else running great. No updates last night. System - Mac OS Ventura 13.6. - Safari 17.0. 2020 - iMac 3.6 10 core I9, 128gb memory and 2gb SSD What I have tried - Cleared history, Deleted extensions, Developer empty cache, Setting cleared website data, Disk Utility first aid, reboot, reboot in safe mode and disabled Malwarebytes. Note - In other computer profiles Safari runs great. Chrome runs great on my profile. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated !! Thank You M

Chrome is a known resource hog. Try a different browser and compare your results

Have you verified your version of Chrome is up to date and/or compatible with your old macOS...

if in doubt search the developers website or contact their: Support/Help/FAQ/Known issues/compatibility/Updates
