Safari has a major advantage over Google Chrome as it is specifically designed for Apple hardware. It utilizes less CPU and RAM compared to Chrome because it is integrated into the Mac operating system. You can verify this yourself by opening both browsers and launching the Activity Monitor from the Utilities folder. The results will show that Safari consumes significantly fewer resources.

Resource consumption can be particularly demanding if you utilize Chrome’s extensive range of extensions and add-ons, which surpasses one hundred thousand. Although Safari offers fewer extensions, the advantage is that it consumes fewer resources. This might not be an issue for your Mac at home, but if you use a laptop on the go where battery life is crucial, you may find that Safari allows you to work longer without needing to charge.
