WHEN CHROME FITSKeep what works
for you.
Chrome is a strong choice for cross-platform browsing, Google integration, and Chrome Web Store extensions. Its Memory Saver also deactivates inactive tabs.
Thravik currently targets macOS 26+. WebKit does not guarantee Chrome extension compatibility. Check the sites and tools you depend on before moving your daily workflow.
