Fair enough.
But beware, Chrome's lead on render speed is most likely thanks to the performance data they collect.
Any other browser you may choose might not collect that data, but don't be surprised if it halves your battery life and takes twice the time to render stuff (such as Firefox in macOS about 6 months ago, don't know how it performs now).
There are reasons for data collection, and I don't think everything is used for malitious intent, which is DDG's point.
- fooker 6y agoChrome halves battery life on macs, compared to Safari. Clearly the fix is collecting even more performance data! :)
- passivate 6y ago>There are reasons for data collection, and I don't think everything is used for malitious intent, which is DDG's point. That is not DDG's point at all. Their point is right in the linked tweet - "Spying on users has nothing to do with building a great web browser or search engine."

- yoyohello13 6y agoI happily trade 'slower' performance for more privacy.
- d1zzy 6y agoAnd you make that trade by using another browser (or Internet search service, email service, etc).
- sixothree 6y agoAre you suggesting Chrome isn't a battery hog?
- tehjoker 6y agoIncredible that performance analysis for benefiting consumers is being linked to advertising and behavioral analysis for making profits.
- ipaddr 6y agoI think it opens many file pointers and keeps them open. Trying to run chrome with anything that has io operations on an older machine and you can see how chrome hogs resources.
