That's not the issue being discussed - nor is it necessarily Apple's
fault - more likely you experienced one of Chrome's many bugs. Chrome is
about the shittiest choice of browser you can make on Macs - especially
Mac laptops. Chrome is notorious for hogging CPU/RAM/disk space, and is
one of the least energy efficient browsers out there - especially
compared to Safari which is one of the most energy efficient browsers
available for macOS.
