My biggest gripe with Chrome isn’t so much its tracking (though that’s not great either) but rather that for Google, efficiency is a ghost of an afterthought and all engineer time goes into pumping out shiny new web features to woo devs.
Only OS maintainers seem to give two hoots about efficiency… Google and Mozilla see no issue with turning your laptop into a battery destroying space heater, and the impact of Google’s part in this is outsize with every other app being built with Electron.
- technobabbler 5y agoIs this really still an issue? Even Chromebooks, ironically, have long enough battery lives for daily use. Phones seem to work OK. Despite inefficiencies, the hardware is still miles ahead of the of average user's software needs these days.
