The first thing we noticed about Google Chrome for Mac is that it's unbelievably lightweight. While Firefox was consuming anything from an average of 20-30% of a Mac's CPU, Chrome for Mac barely registered on the scale, occasionally touching 1%. For anyone plagued with Firefox memory leaks and crashes, this alone is surely going to be a compelling reason to give Chrome a go. As you'd expect, Google Chrome for Mac also features tabbed browsing, which visually, is more attractive than Firefox which tends to cram them together somewhat. Extensions and bookmarking (including syncing across machines) are included, as is Adobe Flash. Chrome for Mac only works on Intel Macs and you might find that some add-ons that you used with previous browsers aren't available for it yet. This is rapidly changing however and most popular add-ons are now available on Chrome.

The final version ensures that you'll be able to synchronize not only bookmarks across multiple computers, but also browser preferences - including themes, homepage and startup settings, web content settings, preferred languages, and even page zoom settings.

I haven't used Google Chrome in a while, however, last week I downloaded it on my late-2010 MacBook Air. The browser works surprisingly well and doesn't put a heavy burden on RAM and CPU. I should probably point out that I use my laptop for Internet browsing, editing Google docs and watching YouTube.
I normally have up to 5-7 tabs open. Chrome might be slightly slower than Safari, but for the third-party app, it is nicely optimized to run on OS X El Capitan. Pros: Sync with Google services. Design and performance. Cons: Initial opening speed, even though this may be a fault of my hardware reviewed on March 15, 2016.
