I have a 2013 MBA core i7, 8gb ram. Whenever I use chrome to surf the web my computer gets really hot. But when I use safari, the computer gets much cooler. What seems to be the problem with chrome?

Click to expand...

This is kind of like saying..."When I poke myself in the eye with a sharp stick...it hurts!". If it hurts...then stop doing it!;)

Same thing with what you describe. If your MBA heats up using Chrome...then stop using Chrome...and continue to use Safari!:)

As far as there being a problem with Chrome. No outstanding/common issues mentioned here from members.
