It sucks because Chrome is so much better usability wise than all those others. I wish they would just fix whatever this keystone trash is, and leave that to stonehenge

The PC equivalent is the 'reporter' process? App locker really comes in handy for such a thing. I used Chrome for so long but it was Firefox containers that finally forced me to switch and never look back.

Just use Firefox

If you want to be sure your stuff works across browsers, test in safari

Don’t support or trust ad companies to deliver technology, their interests are always misaligned with the user

Any actual evidence of the performance impact? This seems thinly supported by evidence.

Chrome's security is, however, light years ahead of anyone else's; it remains the sole reason I still use it.

It's possible to use Little Snitch to deny Keystone/ksupdate all network access, which is what I do, which removes the Google RCE vulnerability it places on your machine.

Make sure to periodically manually update Chrome, however.
