I have the 32 M1 max and safari was using half the memory just opening YouTube. Must be something in the OS if it’s across lots of different apps.

- romero-jk 5y agoA gmail tab consumes a lot of memory for me in safari but no int chrome. Maybe it has something to do with google products ?
- neurobot123 5y agoWhy would someone use safari when chrome is available
- dmitrygr 5y agoBattery life is much better with safari. Measurably.
- alphabettsy 5y agoSafari has been more efficient and is better integrated with the OS from my experience.
- dpratt 5y agoIt’s significantly better for battery life, it’s a tiny bit more integrated into the OS, and as a bonus it doesn’t send every aspect of my entire browsing history back to Google.
- eyelidlessness 5y agoAnd that tiny bit goes a long way if you use iCloud Keychain.
- depereo 5y agoWhy would someone use chrome when Firefox is available?
- urbandw311er 5y agoThey want to prevent Google selling all their data?
- ccouzens 5y agoGoogle is no saint, but they don't sell your data.
- notriddle 5y agoThis is technically true, but only in a pointlessly narrow sense. They do not sell your data; they hoard it, and sell ad targeting services that use it. They also provide it to the government, for free, as required by law. But does anybody actually care about this distinction?
- ccouzens 5y agoIt's tiresome seeing the same falsehood repeated in these forums. If people want a catchy snippet perhaps: Google collects too much of your data, or Google profits from your data.
- rStar 5y agoit’s tiresome to you because you are a liar fighting a tide of truth. if google pays your bills i can’t say that you should definitely be ashamed of yourself, but otherwise you should definitely be ashamed of yourself for trying to mislead people and be as duplicitous as possible at the top of your lungs. i find cultists really tiring.
- novok 5y agoYeah, they retain it and give it to the government for secret mass surveillance subpoenas instead /s Apple is no saint in that regard, but at least the data footprint is less.

- yumraj 5y agoWhy would anyone use Chrome when alternates are available?
- novok 5y agoBattery life, better responsiveness, less google spying. If you're not an extension power user and don't mind it's tab overflow behavior, it's pretty good.
- rootusrootus 5y agoThat's an interesting point. I notice that the person who wrote the blog post is running Safari, too. Is this a Safari problem? The activity monitor screenshot makes it looks like Safari is eating up big chunks of memory for each tab. I don't often use Safari, and my M1 MBP has been problem-free.
