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.

There are command line flags (or 'switches') that Chromium (and Chrome) accept in order to enable particular features or modify otherwise default functionality.

Current switches may be found at http://peter.sh/examples/?/chromium-switches.html

It is important to note that some switches are intended for temporary cases and may break in the future.

Note that if you look at chrome://flags to see if the command line option is active, the state might not be accurately reflected. Check chrome://version for the complete command line used in the current instance.

Windows

  1. Exit any running-instance of Chrome.
  2. Right click on your 'Chrome' shortcut.
  3. Choose properties.
  4. At the end of your 'Target:' line add the command line flags. For example:
    • --disable-gpu-vsync
  5. With that example flag, it should look like below (replacing '--disable-gpu-vsync' with any other command line flags you want to use):
    chrome.exe --disable-gpu-vsync
  6. Launch Chrome like normal with the shortcut.

macOS

  1. Quit any running instance of Chrome.
  2. Run your favorite Terminal application.
  3. In the terminal, run commands like below (replacing '--remote-debugging-port=9222' with any other command line flags you want to use):
    /Applications/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium --remote-debugging-port=9222
    # For Google Chrome you'll need to escape spaces like so:
    /Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome --remote-debugging-port=9222

Linux

  1. Quit any running instance of Chrome.
  2. Run your favorite terminal emulator.
  3. In the terminal, run commands like below (replacing '--remote-debugging-port=9222' with any other command line flags you want to use):
    chromium-browser --remote-debugging-port=9222
    google-chrome --foo --bar=2

V8 Flags

V8 can take a number of flags as well, via Chrome's js-flags flag. For example, this traces V8 optimizations:

Chrome
chrome.exe --js-flags='--trace-opt --trace-deopt --trace-bailout'

To get a listing of all possible V8 flags:

Browse the V8 wiki for more flags for V8.

Android

Visit 'about:version' to review the flags that are effective in the app.

If you are running on a rooted device or using a debug build of Chromium, then you can set flags like so:

out/Default/bin/chrome_public_apk argv # Show existing flags.
out/Default/bin/content_shell_apk argv --args='--foo --bar' # Set new flags

You can also install, set flags, and launch with a single command:

out/Default/bin/chrome_public_apk run --args='--foo --bar'
out/Default/bin/content_shell_apk run # Clears any existing flags

For production build on a non-rooted device, you need to enable 'Enable command line on non-rooted devices' in chrome://flags, then set command line in /data/local/tmp/chrome-command-line. When doing that, mind that the first command line item should be a '_' (underscore) followed by the ones you actually need. Finally, manually restart Chrome ('Relaunch' from chrome://flags page might no be enough to trigger reading this file). See https://crbug.com/784947.

ContentShell on Android

There's an alternative method for setting flags with ContentShell that doesn't require building yourself:

  1. Download a LKGR build of Android.
  2. This will include both ChromePublic.apk and ContentShell.apk
  3. Install ContentShell APK to your device.
  4. Run this magic incantation
-a android.intent.action.VIEW
-n org.chromium.content_shell_apk/.ContentShellActivity
--esa commandLineArgs --show-paint-rects,--show-property-changed-rects

This will launch contentshell with the supplied flags. You can apply whatever commandLineArgs you want in that syntax.
