Ralentit énormément chrome qui devient soudainement un gouffre pour mon mac. J'espère que c'était un souci temporaire bientôt résolu. Par ailleurs, l'application n'a pas besoin de toutes ces autorisations (consulter toutes les pages, l'historique, les favoris,...) pour fonctionner. J'ai désinstallé et retrouvé des performances normales et une autonomie décente.
