I would argue that the stats suggest he is in the minority. Birchter claims that Keystone has been a thorn in the side of mac users since 2009. Various counts put Chrome global market share at ~65%-71% of ~3.734bn-4.66bn unique users. In fairness Birchter's appears to be an edge case I'm not saying that Chrome hasn't or doesn't cause performance issues in certain scenarios/environments, but I do think that it isn't likely to be that many people (as in all software). This tends to mean that anything bad could and would have been spotted and fixed, in my opinion. I don't know much about Keystone, except that it's open source, which means anyone can peak inside. His recommendations are subjective, so I wouldn't take his advice. His claims are anecdotal and he provides no evidence or even detail about them. I'm really disappointed to see that article posted on tom's guide! Loren Brichter's website isn't particularly well written.


In the Finder click the Go menu (at the top of the screen), then click "Go to Folder.".


But if you're still experiencing slowdown, you'll want to remove Chrome and Keystone. If you’re experiencing issues with Chrome, clearing your cache, cookies and site data can be a good first step in helping improve your Mac’s performance.
