Same here. Cannt use it on my mba 2012. It just to heavy on resources. Chrome handles it without more loosely.

If you want to get away from Chrome my tip is to use Opera. Same engine underneath & can handle same extensions (with a proper extension installed) but without Google.

Opera also has a battery saving feature.

Opera is also closed source and has been bought by some Chinese consortium, so that may not be the best option if you want to get away from Google for privacy reasons.

[fetbaffe]

Correct. I just think that Google is a bigger problem than this Chinese consortium. If I practically could I would avoid both.

Tried running Edge for a while, which is gentle on battery, however Edge is just lacking.

Using Opera only superficially sidesteps the big Google problem, as you still contribute to the Chromium monoculture that reinforces Chrome's dominance and benefits Google.

[fetbaffe]

Yep, sad state of affairs. Sad day when Microsoft succumbed to Chromium monoculture.

However when I develop I always develop for Firefox first, but the Firefox developer tools are starting to age as well.

At least the performance issue of Firefox on Mac is being worked on and should hopefully be resolved soon: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1429522
