Does anyone know how to get a job as a chrome developer?
I would guess you should google that information

#22Can someone explain to me how I'm supposed to develop an Enterprise web app, that requires a regular "liveliness" check-in and to continue to receive timely notifications without internet access (internal only)? Between all the creative ways they're finding to decide they should throttle a tab or put it to sleep, and the ways they keep screwing with timers/intervals, I feel like I'm being forced back to pushing for a…
chrome://settings/performance -- you can add sites that should remain active
I don't know how to mass administer this across an enterprise, but presumably it would leverage existing tools.

#23Man, I have an M1 Mac and downloaded Chrome about a week ago. This thing drains my battery. I mean, I still get 10 hours out of the machine, but it's extraordinarily bad - running Chrome made me hear my Mac's fans for the first time since I bought it (>2 years)!
Safari isn't a browser I like, but one that I need to use - every other browser is simply too inefficient.

#24I’ve been using safari for the last two years, the main reason being battery usage and integration with keychain.
But I keep hearing about how it’s not the best at rendering pages because developers have to implement workarounds for safari all the time, so it made me wonder if the sites I use would work better in Chrome. Not to mention the extension library.
Honestly I haven’t felt a difference, and thinking that Chrome uses more ram and cpu also pushes me away from it. I hope this actually makes a difference so I can continue my transition.

#25> We identified data structures in which there were frequent accesses with the same key and optimized their access pattern. What does this mean? The image implies the use of some sort of associative data structure implemented by linear search. But no one does that.
my interpretation was that they were just caching the last accessed key+value and checking query keys against that last accessed key in hopes to skip the hashing/indexing.

I have been using Safari for a decade or so.
At the time i made the decision, the alternatives were Chrome and Firefox, and one sends all my data to Google, the other was sluggish at the time.
Both have made improvements since, but to be honest, like you i don't notice any difference. Everything i visit renders as expected, and i keep a "backup" Chrome/Firefox installed "just in case", but i can't remember the last time i used either of them.

#27None of these improvements seem Mac-specific. Does Chrome on other OSs have these?
If you want to maximize battery life on a Mac, you need to do Mac-specific things. The most energy efficient way to do things is to hook into proprietary APIs such as CTS and GCD. You can’t get around these by doing it yourself because they’re designed to coordinate tasks across all running processes.
This high level of coordination improves efficiency because the CPU can wake up, crank through the queue of scheduled tasks, and go back to sleep. If every process does it DIY, then the CPU just gets woken up repeatedly and your battery dies a death by a thousand cuts.

Web Push? https://web.dev/notifications/
> without internet access
Re: Do more with Chrome on a single charge on MacBooks
#29Earlier quoted context omitted.
Web Push? https://web.dev/notifications/
I have never once consented to a "let me send you notifications" request from a website, so this seems like a bad solution. They're widely abused by random trashy websites so it seems like it would be hard to get end users to consent so your app can use them to avoid timer throttling.
OP says
without internet access (internal only)?
so this would be an internal work site. Not spam. Valid to use and approve notifications.

You could try Orion[0] which is based on Safari. It fixes a lot of issues I have with Safari. It's also available for iOS and does even support uBlock Origin on iOS.
