Find someone who loves and looks after you the same way Windows 10 loves and cares for that ONE PERSON IN THE WORLD who wants Skype to start on system boot.
"Please add Skype to my startup items every time you update" said NOBODY IN THE WORLD EVER.
I will accept that Edge is a pretty damn decent browser now though.
Credit where it's due.
Unlike Chrome, it does accept that MAYBE some other processes would like some CPU time.

I was doing some benchmarking of CPU browser usage for virtual tour reasons yesterday and very quickly realised it was quicker to do a list of "Things that will NOT make Chrome instantly use 99% of your CPU" than a list of those that did.
All I'm saying is that if they'd had to try and do ANYTHING to save Apollo 13 that would have involved the command module equivalent of opening Google Chrome then they would have been utterly fucked.
SIDEBAR TO THIS THREAD:
If you're on Windows 10, go into chrome:flags and EXPLICITLY tell it to use WebGL.
It'll knock about 30% off Chromes CPU hogging whenever some kind of graphics rendering is going on (e.g. Maps/Earth).

Also this launch argument is your friend: --use-angle=gl
ALSO FUN APOLLO SIDEBAR:
The thing that kept freezing the Apollo 11 landing computer during the moon landing was Neil Armstrong being a MASSIVE EXCITED NERD.
He kept telling it to give him more info and the subprogram which did that wasn't being accounted for properly in memory

LANDING COMPUTER: I will land on moooon
ARMSTRONG: OMG this so cool show me all the numbers!
LANDING COMPUTER: OK. Blaaaargh. Reboot
ARMSTRONG: WHY U CRASH?! show me numbers I fix u
LANDING COMPUTER: OK. Blaaaargh. Reboot
NASA: Neil are u touching things?
ARMSTRONG: Um no honest

NASA: Neil are u touching things?
ARMSTRONG: Um no honest
NASA: Cos it looks very much down here like you're touching things
ARMSTRONG: Definitely not me.
NASA: Buzz is he touching things?
ALDRIN: Nope
ARMSTRONG [whispers]: Thanks Buzz
ALDRIN [whispers]: It's cool bro but maybe stop touching things now
ARMSTRONG: Ok bud
(to paraphrase)
ARMSTRONG: Definitely not me.

ALDRIN: Nope

I mean obviously they did it in proper cool rocket man serious speak but that's basically the gist of that whole frantic and very serious(tm) moment during the final landing stage.
And obviously it's WAY more complex than a bunch of slightly facetious tweets and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this excellent talk on the landing computer:
