How many Mac owners use Google Chrome over Safari?
I'm a Mac user that uses Chrome instead of Safari. I switched to Chrome about a year or two ago and haven't looked back. The main reason I switched from Safari to Chrome on the Mac is because I switched from an iPhone to a Nexus 4 (I currently use a Nexus 5), and since there isn't a Safari version for Android, the simplest solution I found to keep all of my bookmarks synced across desktop and mobile was to use Chrome on all of my devices.Another reason I switched from Safari to Chrome is for an extension called Hola. I live in Canada, and Hola allows me to access a lot of content that would otherwise be blocked. I used to jump into Chrome if I wanted to view a site that required Hola, but when the switch to Android got me thinking about switching to the Chrome browser on the desktop, the Hola extension was another reason that convinced me to make the switch.The only feature I miss from Safari on OS X is the way it supports zooming in and out on web pages (extremely smooth double tap and pinch to zoom). The zoom functionality in Chrome on OS X is positively awful.

How does Hola Better Internet make money?
They sell your idle trafficsrc: Popular Chrome extension Hola sold users' bandwidth for botnets===================================The issue came to light after the moderator of the controversial 8chan forum — an off-shoot of 4chan that has been criticized for acting as an "active pedophile network" — reported that the site had been the target of multiple DoS attacks from Hola's network. "[Hola] recently ... realized that they basically have a 9 million IP strong botnet on their hands, and they began selling access to this botnet," says a note on the site. "An attacker used the Luminati network to send thousands of legitimate-looking [requests to 8chan] in 30 seconds, representing a 100x spike over peak traffic."Hola is able to act as a botnet for the same reason that its service is free: it doesn't provide its own bandwidth or servers, but simply redirects that of its users'. Most virtual private networks (VPNs) have their own servers spread around the world, channeling a users' internet connection through these so that it appears to be coming from a different country. This allows a user in France, for example, to watch geoblocked TV shows from the US. Hola, however, operates as a peer-to-peer VPN, routing users' connections through each other's devices like a giant telephone exchange. Hola makes money by selling idle bandwidth from its free users under the Luminati brand. Users who don't want to contribute their bandwidth have to pay $5 a month explains the site's FAQ. Hola's founder Ofer Vilenski has said that the site has "always made it clear" how this business model works, but Hola's users seem to have been almost universally unaware that their bandwidth was being sold off. A thread on Reddit discussing the news is full of commenters expressing their outrage and surprise. "I've had it for years," writes one commenter, "fuck knows who has been using my internet connection!! And for what?!" Even users who might have taken the time to read Hola's FAQ could have been misled — TorrentFreak alleges that the site "only recently" added details explaining the role of the Luminati service to its site.

Your internet is being controlled.?
I'd not worry about it. That's just the Chromium/torch browser being overly protective because it detected an extension that is controlling where your internet traffic is going. "Hola" is a proxy extension, so it re-directs your internet traffic for you to a remote internet gateway so you get a remote internet identity from another place (as to bypass geographical censorship).
