r/apple on Reddit: How has Chrome been on the M1 Macs (compared to Intel Macs)
September 4, 2021 -
Hi friends,
I've got a fully loaded M1 Mac Mini on the way. I've been using my fully loaded i9 MBP 16" for over a year now and in general that thing just feels sluggish. I work in software so I do programming and usually have dozens of tabs open. Chrome is slow as heck on the Intel Mac. I really wanted to switch to Safari but it seems like this is not an option because I need to have separate sandboxes for my work accounts and personal accounts.
So how has Chrome been since it released it's native M1 compatible version?

I'm really not sure why Chrome is so popular. Test after test has found Safari on Mac and Edge on Windows to be the fastest and most efficient browsers. Apple says that Safari gets you up to 1.5 hours more battery life vs. Chrome.

Here's how fast a Chromebook with a custom chip like the Apple M1 could be (and why)
September 5, 2025 - First, is the overall responsiveness the M1 provides. While I can’t compare apples to apples between devices running Chrome OS and macOS, I can share a few key performance measures. Take a look at this Octane benchmark, for example, using the ARM version of the Chrome browser on the MacBook Air: I’ve run this benchmark on dozens of Chromebooks through the years and about the highest score I’ve ever seen is around 45,000 points. And that was on a then-recent Intel Core i5 processor.

December 30, 2020 - I have a new Macbook M1, and I installed the M1-specific Google Chrome on my system to avoid using the Rosetta emulation. It works well! However, when I'm running my test suite, I can see in the Activity Monitor that the headless Chrome is not started with the correct architecture. We can see "Intel" instead of "Apple":
