There is no reason to hide a process from Activity Monitor unless you, uh, don’t want the activity monitored. This is how malware works.
Chrome is bad. There is no reason it should make everything slow *when it’s not running* (it shouldn’t make everything slow when it is running either). There are other good browsers based on Chromium (Brave, Vivaldi), and Safari is fast & lightweight too.https://t.co/Twwxir5pwF
