Obviously, it’s less than ideal to force a user to learn an entirely separate workflow and user interface when they’re used to one already. Thankfully this is no longer the case, but it was a huge pain for far too long. Chrome used its own notification setup, that didn’t integrate with the Notification Center on a Mac.

The old notification system was also a mess. But Chrome didn’t respect this feature until March 2019-half a year later. For example, macOS Mojave introduced Dark Mode in September 2018, which Safari supported out of the gate. Similarly, most Mac apps have their own preferences window Chrome uses a website in a tab for that.Ĭhrome is also slower to catch up with new macOS features than Safari.

For example, most Mac apps close instantly when you hit Cmd + Q Chrome, by default, makes you hold the combo down for a few seconds before it quits (though you can turn that feature off).
