How to install Google Chrome on A 2016 MacBook Pro. This tutorial will walk you through the download and installation process on a MacBook Pro, but it is the.

Eric Petitt, writing for The Official Unofficial Firefox Blog yesterday:

I head up Firefox marketing, but I use Chrome every day. Worksfine. Easy to use. Like most of us who spend too much time infront of a laptop, I have two browsers open; Firefox for work,Chrome for play, customized settings for each. There are multiplethings that bug me about the Chrome product, for sure, but I‘m OKwith Chrome. I just don't like only being on Chrome. […]

But talking to friends, it sounds more and more like living onChrome has started to feel like their only option. Edge is broken.Safari and Internet Explorer are just plain bad. Andunfortunately, too many people think Firefox isn't a modernalternative.

In an update posted today, he walked that back:

In my original post I made a personal dig about Edge, IE andSafari: 'Edge is broken. Safari and Internet Explorer are justplain bad.' I've since deleted that sentence.

It's true, I personally don't like those products, they just don'twork for me. But that was probably a bit too flip. And, if itwasn't obvious that those were my personal opinions as a user, notthose of the good folks at Firefox and Mozilla, then please acceptmy apology.

It's easy when making an aside — and it's clear that the central premise of this piece is about positioning Chrome as the Goliath to Firefox's David, so references to Safari and IE are clearly asides — to conflate 'I don't like X' with 'X is bad'. So I say we let it slide.1

Is It Ok To Download Chrome On Macbook Pro 2019

But I've been meaning to write about Safari vs. Chrome for a while, and Petitt's jab, even retracted, makes for a good excuse.

I think Safari is a terrific browser. It remains the one and only browser for the Mac that behaves like a native Mac app through and through. It may not be the fastest browser but it is fast. And its energy performance puts Chrome to shame. If you use a Mac laptop, using Chrome instead of Safari can cost you an hour or more of battery life per day.2

But Chrome is a terrific browser, too. It's clearly the second-most-Mac-like browser for MacOS. It almost inarguably has the widest and deepest extension ecosystem. It has good web developer tools, and Chrome adopts new web development technologies faster than Safari does.

But Safari's extension model is more privacy-conscious. For many people on MacOS, the decision between Safari and Chrome probably comes down to which ecosystem you're more invested in — iCloud or Google — for things like tab, bookmark, and history syncing. Me, personally, I'd feel lost without the ability to send tabs between my Macs and iPhone via Handoff. Update: Unbeknownst to me, Chrome fully supports Handoff with iOS devices. Nice!

In short, Safari closely reflects Apple's institutional priorities (privacy, energy efficiency, the niceness of the native UI, support for MacOS and iCloud technologies) and Chrome closely reflects Google's priorities (speed, convenience, a web-centric rather than native-app-centric concept of desktop computing, integration with Google web properties). Safari is Apple's browser for Apple devices. Chrome is Google's browser for all devices.

I personally prefer Safari, but I can totally see why others — especially those who work on desktop machines or MacBooks that are usually plugged into power — prefer Chrome. DF readers agree. Looking at my web stats, over the last 30 days, 69 percent of Mac users visiting DF used Safari, but a sizable 28 percent used Chrome. (Firefox came in at 3 percent, and everything else was under 1 percent.)3

As someone who's been a Mac user long enough to remember when there were no good web browsers for the Mac, having both Safari and Chrome feels downright bountiful, and the competition is making both of them better.

  1. What really struck me about Petitt's piece wasn't the unfounded (to my eyes) dismissal of Safari, but rather his admission that he uses 'Firefox for work, Chrome for play'. I really doubt the marketing managers for Chrome or Safari spend their days with a rival browser open for 'play', and even if they did, I expect they'd have the common sense not to admit so publicly, and especially not in the opening paragraph of a piece arguing that their own browser is a viable alternative to the rival one. ↩︎

  2. Back in December, when Consumer Reports rushed out their sensational report claiming bizarrely erratic battery life on the then-new MacBook Pros (which was eventually determined to be caused by a bug in Safari that Apple soon fixed), I decided to try to loosely replicate their test on the MacBook Pro review units I had from Apple. Consumer Reports doesn't reveal the exact details of their testing, but they do describe it in general. They set the laptop brightness to a certain brightness value, then load a list of web pages repeatedly until the battery runs out. Presumably they automate this with a script of some sort, but they don't say.

    That's pretty easy to replicate in AppleScript. I used that day's leading stories on TechMeme as my source for URLs to load — 26 URLs total. When a page loads, my script waits 5 seconds, and then scrolls down (simulating the Page Down key), waits another 5 seconds and pages down again, and then waits another 5 seconds before paging down one last time. This is a simple simulation of a person actually reading a web page. While running through the list of URLs, my script leaves each URL open in a tab. At the end of the list, it closes all tabs and then starts all over again. Each time through the loop the elapsed time and remaining battery life are logged to a file. (I also logged results as updates via messages sent to myself via iMessage, so I could monitor the progress of the hours-long test runs from my phone. No apps were running during the tests other than Safari, Script Editor, Finder, and Messages.)

    I set the display brightness at exactly 68.75 percent for each test (11/16 clicks on the brightness meter when using the function key buttons to adjust), a value I chose arbitrarily as a reasonable balance for someone running on battery power.

    Averaged (and rounded) across several runs, I got the following results:

    • 15-inch MacBook Pro With Touch Bar: 6h:50m
    • 13-inch MacBook Pro With Touch Bar: 5h:30m
    • 13-inch MacBook Pro (2014): 5h:10m
    • 11-inch MacBook Air (2011): 2h:15m

    I no longer had a new 13-inch MacBook Pro without the Touch Bar (a.k.a. the 'MacBook Esc') — I'd sent it back to Apple. I included my own personal 2014 13-inch MacBook Pro and my old 2011 MacBook Air just as points of reference. I think the Air did poorly just because it was so old and so well-used. It still has its original battery.

    I saw no erratic fluctuations in battery life across runs of the test. I procrastinated on publishing the results, though, and within a few weeks the whole thing was written off with a 'never mind!' when Apple fixed the bug in Safari that was causing Consumer Reports's erratic results.

    Anyway, the whole point of including these results in this footnote is that I also ran the exact same test with Chrome on the 13-inch MacBook Pro With Touch Bar. The average result: 3h:40m. That's 1h:50m difference. On the exact same machine running the exact same test with the exact same list of URLs, the battery lasted almost exactly 1.5 times as long using Safari than Chrome.

    My test was in no way meant to simulate real-world usage. You'd have to be fueled up on some serious stimulants to read a new web page every 15 seconds non-stop for hours on end. But the results were striking. If you place a high priority on your MacBook's battery life, you should use Safari instead of Chrome.

    If you're interested, I've posted my battery testing scripts for Safari and Chrome. ↩︎︎

  3. If anyone has a good source for browser usage by MacOS users from a general purpose website like The New York Times or CNN, let me know. I honestly don't know whether to expect that the split among DF readers is biased in favor of Safari because DF readers are more likely to care about the advantages of a native app, or biased in favor of Chrome because so many of you are web developers or even just nerdy enough to install a third-party browser in the first place. Wikimedia used to publish stats like that, but alas, ceased in 2015. Download songs in macbook free dj songs remix bollywood youtube. ↩︎︎

Chrome

In the early days of Mac, its default web browser wasn't what you might expect. Surprisingly for all, Microsoft had struck a deal with Apple to ship Macs with Internet Explorer right out of the box. However, once the contract was done, Apple quickly released their own browser called Safari.

Unfortunately for Apple's new browser, a stronger alternative under the name of Google Chrome browser had already snapped up the market share. Mac users were attracted to Google due to its search and mail services — roughly one third of all Macs use Chrome as their default browser as of 2019. With only a few options competing for the same market, the name of the game has become cross-platform.

Getting Started With Chrome On Mac

Web browsers have come a long way in recent years, with most reaching some sort of feature parity and common user experience, which makes switching between them fairly easy. Chrome browser for Mac is no exception, but the sheer number of users have led to it having an interesting advantage in the marketplace — mostly due to Chrome's presence on any device, from iPhones to Windows desktops. If you've been considering a switch and are wondering how to install Chrome on Mac, your best guide is below.

The benefits of Google Chrome for Mac

There are good reasons for Mac users to prefer Chrome, especially with its natural overlap with other Google products. Users, for example, can sign into their Google Account on Chrome and have it synchronize with their other devices, integrating account data and preferences accordingly. More reasons to make the switch to Chrome include:

  • Web developer tools make it easy to test web apps on Chrome, which means strong compatibility with the latest sites and tech standards

  • Support by nearly every device and operating system, including Windows and Apple products, whereas Safari is only available in iOS and macOS

  • An impressive library of browser extensions, which grant additional capabilities, such as ad-blocking and custom integrations. It's true that most other browsers also use extensions, but the wider support for Chrome means more developers can get the best bang for their buck by releasing their products on Chrome first.

Truth be told, Chrome isn't without its downsides. A common complaint one might hear is that Google Chrome for Mac uses a lot of system memory (and therefore laptop battery), especially when lots of tabs are open and running.

One might argue it's because Chrome has some of the best security and malware protection, which inherently uses more RAM and battery to accommodate its scans — but whatever the reason, it's not impossible to mitigate — just use Endurance.

Endurance is a lightweight utility that helps you take back the control of your battery life, sometimes extending it by up to 20%. In just a few clicks, Endurance will lower your processor speed, hide background apps, and dim the screen to preserve battery when you don't need to be using it in full brightness — perfect for when you're in and out of Google Chrome.

How to download and install Chrome for Mac

Not sure how to install Google Chrome for Mac? It's all very simple, but you'll need to use a different web browser (like Safari) to download Chrome for Mac first:

  1. Open Safari (or other web browser) then navigate to google.com/chrome

  2. Hit Download Chrome for Mac

  3. A new window will appear asking you to agree to the Terms of Use. If you agree, click on Accept and Install.

  4. When the Chrome for Mac download is finished, open the file called googlechrome.dmg and go through the installation process

  5. Drag the Chrome icon to the Applications folder when asked — the last step before you finally have Chrome on Mac

  6. Launch Google Chrome from Applications or straight from your Dock

  7. Remove the Google Chrome download for Mac from the Downloads folder by dragging it to the Trash

Now that you know how to download Google Chrome, you might want to make Chrome default browser on Mac. To do this, simply open it and click the three dots in the top-right corner, followed by Settings, then in the Default Browser section click Make Default.

If you're wondering how to update Google Chrome on Mac, you don't have to — Chrome will do this automatically the next time you launch the browser, so you never have to worry about having to look for the latest version.

Making the best use of Google Chrome

Chrome is already a fast web browser, but it can be even faster if you take full advantage of its keyboard shortcuts. From how to search a page on Mac through to opening and closing tabs, here are a few to help you become more productive:

  • Open a private window for browsing (called Incognito mode) with ⌘ + Shift + N

  • Open a new tab in a snap using ⌘ + T

  • Close that same tab by hitting ⌘ + W

  • Jump to specific tabs holding Command and selecting a number (e.g. 1, 2, or 9). This shortcut will take you directly to the tab number reading from left to right.

  • Zoom in and out with ⌘ and tapping the + or - keys

  • Looking for how to search a page on Mac? You can press ⌘ + L to go to Chrome's URL bar, which also doubles as the Google search engine — this makes searching for new pages and websites easier, as you no longer have to navigate to google.com first.

  • Need to know how to search for a word on a web page in Chrome for Mac? Try ⌘ + F.
