Ok, that's it, time to switch to Safari. I was using private windows for searches for years but had no idea about unique browser ID.

Also Chrome crashes multiple times a week on macOS nowadays.

Fine to switch, but the GP is wrong. This is not a thing that exists.

Honestly Safari is far more battery efficient than any other major browser available on OS X. Whenever I want to watch netflix or HBO and have only about an episode's worth of battery life left, I switch to safari and usually gain a real 10-15 minutes on the battery estimate. The CPU runs cooler streaming HD video than both Firefox and Chrome.

One more awesome thing: accessibility is always enabled in Safari.

Chrome and FF keep it turned off by default for performance reasons.
