Google Chrome is the most widely used web browser in the world. Users enjoy its fast loading speed, cross-device integration, and tabbed browsing. Google Chrome does not come installed as a standard on new Macs or PCs. Their native web browsers (Safari and Microsoft Edge, respectively) are automatically installed, forcing users to install Chrome themselves.
Seamless internet navigation
Chrome is an ideal browser to enjoy easy, coordinated online browsing across various devices.
Whether you have a new Mac or an older one, Google Chrome sets the bar high for web browsers. You want a browser that is safe, easy to use, syncs data and content across all your devices, and operates quickly. Google Chrome is the solution that over 63% of the world turns to and with good reason. Mac users have distinguished taste and as such, expect high quality in their hardware and software products. Google Chrome delivers this to Mac users with its low CPU usage, reliability, and overall browsing experience. It delivers a high-quality browsing experience to Mac users with its low CPU usage, reliability, tabbed browsing, cross-device syncing, and lighting fast loading speed.
Google Chrome for Mac has a laundry list of features, earning its spot as the top web browser of choice for both Mac and PC users. It offers thousands of extensions, available through the Chrome web store, providing Mac owners with even more functionality. Adobe Flash is also available when you install Chrome on your Mac. The overall appearance is professional and clean. Enjoy customized browser preferences including your homepage of choice, sync and Google services, Chrome name and picture, importing bookmarks and settings, autofill capabilities (passwords, payments, addresses, etc.), toolbars, font, page zoom, and startup settings. Chrome’s user interface is incredibly easy to navigate. Multi-tasking just got easier with tabbed browsing, which not only helps productivity, but looks clean and organized. Since Chrome can be downloaded on all of your devices (computers, phones, tablets), if you open a browser or perform a search on one device, Chrome will auto-sync that work stream on your other devices. If you look up a dinner recipe at work on your Mac but need the ingredient list at the grocery store? No problem - pull up the same tab within Chrome on your iPhone. Once you are home and ready to start cooking, just pull up the same Chrome recipe tab on your tablet. With the world moving faster than ever before, functionality like this can help make life a little easier.
Chrome’s password, contact information, and payment autofill capabilities are revolutionizing users’ online experience. Upon your consent, Chrome’s autofill feature will easily fill out your name, address, phone number, email address, passwords, and payment information. If it’s time to register your child for the soccer season but your wallet is downstairs, Google Chrome has your back, helping you easily fill in the data, so you can stay in your comfy chair. Chrome will only sync this data on your approved devices, so you can rest easy that your information is safe. CPU usage is immensely important when choosing a web browser. Keep your Mac’s CPU free by browsing with Google Chrome, maximizing overall system performance. Chrome for Mac is currently available in 47 languages. It can only be installed on Intel Macs, currently limiting its userbase. Mac users can manage how their browsing history is used to personalize search, ads, and more by navigating to their 'Sync Settings' within Chrome. Encryption options, auto-completion of searches and URLs, similar page suggestions, safe browsing, and enhanced spell check are also available within the settings tab, helping users feel more in control of their browsing experience. Users also have the option to 'help improve Chrome' by automatically sending usage statistics, crash reports, visited URLs, and system information to Google, or can easily opt out within Chrome’s settings.
Where can you run this program?
Google Chrome is available on MacOS X Yosemite 10.10 or later, Windows 7 or later, Android, and iOS devices. Chrome may successfully install on devices with lesser system requirements; however, Google only provides support on a system meeting the minimum system requirements.
Is there a better alternative?
For Mac users, Safari is the standard out-of-the-box browser installed on new devices. Most users prefer a web browser with better functionality than Safari. Chrome is harder on a Mac’s battery life than Apple’s native Safari browser. However, Chrome comes out ahead of Safari in terms of browsing speed, extensions, and video loading capabilities. Safari does have many of Chrome’s features such as tab syncing across devices and auto-filling based on previous searches. Mozilla Firefox is another commonly used web browser among Mac users, though its memory usage knocks it down on the list of competitors. The main draw to Mozilla Firefox over Chrome is that because Firefox is open source, nothing fishy is going on behind the scenes. Google is notorious for capturing and using data which rightfully makes people uncomfortable.
Our take
Mac users tend to do things their own way. You’ve opted for the non-mainstream computer hardware, so using the native installed Safari browser seems in character. Safari’s minimalist look draws Mac users in as well. Google Chrome is much more 'going along with the crowd'. Putting that aside, Mac owners should dig into what they really use their web browsers for, and determine if data privacy or features is more important to them. Better yet, why not have two browsers?
Should you download it?
Yes. For Mac users, Google Chrome’s quick speed and helpful features makes it an excellent web browser choice. Google’s controversial collection of personal and usage data is sure to make some pause on whether to install Chrome or not. However, if you are comfortable or indifferent to Google’s data collection, go for it; the browser's overall functionality is impressive.
Highs
- Fast loading speed
- Thousands of extensions available via the chrome web store
- Tabbed browsing synced across devices
- Convenient auto-fill
Lows
- Available on MacOS X Yosemite 10.10 or later
- Google’s aggressive data collection practices

Hello! Here's what's new in Chrome DevTools in Chrome 75.
Video version of this page #
Meaningful preset values when autocompleting CSS functions #
Some CSS properties, like filter, take functions for values. For example, filter: blur(1px) adds a 1-pixel blur to a node. When autocompleting properties like filter, DevTools now populates the property with a meaningful value so that you can preview what kind of change the value will have on the node.
Figure 1. The old autocomplete behavior. DevTools is autocompleting to filter: blur and no change is visible in the viewport.
Figure 2. The new autocomplete behavior. DevTools is autocompleting to filter: blur(1px) and the change is visible in the viewport.

Clear site data from the Command Menu #
Press Control+Shift+P or Command+Shift+P (Mac) to open the Command Menu and then run the Clear Site Data command to clear all data related to the page, including: Service workers, localStorage, sessionStorage, IndexedDB, Web SQL, Cookies, Cache, and Application Cache.
Figure 3. The Clear Site Data command.
Clearing site data has been available from Application >Clear Storage for a while. The new feature in Chrome 75 is being able to run the command from the Command Menu.
If you don't want to delete all site data, you can control what data gets deleted from Application >Clear Storage.

View all IndexedDB databases #
Previously Application >IndexedDB only allowed you to inspect IndexedDB databases from the main origin. For example, if you had an <iframe> on your page, and that <iframe> was using IndexedDB, you wouldn't be able to see its database(s). As of Chrome 75, DevTools shows IndexedDB databases for all origins.
Figure 5. The old behavior. The page is embedding a demo that uses IndexedDB, but no databases are visible.
Figure 6. The new behavior. The demo's databases are visible.
Relevant Chromium issue: #943770
View a resource's uncompressed size on hover #
Suppose that you're inspecting network activity. Your site uses text compression to reduce the transfer size of resources. You want to see how large the page's resources are after the browser uncompresses them. Previously this information was only available when using large request rows. Now you can access this information by hovering over the Size column.
Figure 7. Hovering over the Size column to view a resource's uncompressed size.
Relevant Chromium issue: #805429
Inline breakpoints in the breakpoint pane #
Suppose that you add a line-of-code breakpoint to the following line of code:
For a while now DevTools has enabled you to specify when exactly it should pause on a breakpoint like this: at the beginning of the line, before document.querySelector('#dante') is called, or before addEventListener('click', logWarning) is called. If you enable all 3, you're essentially creating 3 breakpoints. Previously the Breakpoints pane did not give you the ability to manage these 3 breakpoints individually. As of Chrome 75 each inline breakpoint gets its own entry in the Breakpoints pane.
Figure 8. The old behavior. There's only 1 entry in the Breakpoints pane.
Figure 9. The new behavior. There's 3 entries in the Breakpoints pane.
Relevant Chromium issue: #927961
IndexedDB and Cache resource counts #
The IndexedDB and Cache panes now indicate the total number of resources in a database or cache.
Figure 10. Total entries in an IndexedDB database.
Relevant Chromium issues: #941197, #930773, #930865
Setting for disabling the detailed inspect tooltip #
Chrome 73 introduced detailed tooltips when in Inspect mode.
Figure 11. A detailed tooltip showing color, font, margin, and contrast.
You can now disable these detailed tooltips from Settings >Preferences >Elements >Show Detailed Inspect Tooltip.
Figure 12. A minimal tooltip showing only width and height.
Chrome 75 Plus
Relevant Chromium issue: #948417
Setting for toggling tab indentation in the Sources panel editor #
Accessibility testing revealed that there was a tab trap in the Editor. Once a keyboard user tabbed into the Editor, they had no way to tab out of it because the Tab key was used for indentation. To override the default behavior and use Tab to move focus, enable Settings >Preferences >Sources >Enable Tab Moves Focus.
There's been a lot of work recently around making the DevTools UI itself more keyboard navigable. Check out Rob's Navigate Chrome DevTools With Assistive Technology to learn more.
