Apple used to offer Safari for Windows but discontinued that version in 2012. Chrome is available on many platforms: Because it comes from Apple, Safari is available only on Macs and iOS devices (it comes installed on the iPhone and iPad, too).In those situations, you might have better luck with Chrome. Chrome is highly compatible: Although it doesn't happen much these days, some sites won't load or function correctly in Safari.If you're a heavy user of Google services, Chrome is the simplest and best-integrated way to access them. Chrome ties into the Google ecosystem: You can sign in to your Google account using Chrome and use all the services and data in your Google account, right there in your browser.Yandex says that it has reached out to AMD regarding these findings and has also already included the optimization, ie, the executable file renamed to chrome.exe, in its browsers starting with version 22.9.0. The results surprised us a lot: for users with AMD video cards from the experimental group, the number of GPU process crashes decreased by 5.5 times, the memory consumption of the GPU process decreased by an average of 8%, and the opening of web pages in the browser and interface responsiveness also slightly accelerated Probably, in the touchpad drivers, a certain list of application file names was 'hardcoded', for which the fix for this problem was applied. So the problem was somewhere else.įor the sake of interest, we tried to rename the executable file of our browser from browser.exe to chrome.exe - and voila! Jumps during scrolling have been fixed. Once our team encountered a bug: on Lenovo laptops in Yandex Browser, scrolling web pages from the touchpad was too sharp, but in other browsers (Chrome and Edge) this problem was not observed.Īfter looking at the code, we realized that our touchpad event handling logic does not differ from the open source Chromium, on which both our browser and Google Chrome are based. Yandex has explained this in detail in a blog post on Habr (Google-translated to English): Why? Driver authors hardcode chrome.exe and optimize for Chrome.😠

Yandex reports that renaming their Chromium-based browser's GPU process name to 'chrome.exe' decreases GPU process crashes 5x and memory consumption by 8% when AMD drivers are used.
