Wanted this to exist for so long. I’ve started learning Swift to build an app to solve this. Then I discovered HammerSpoon[1] and since I use a HammerSpoon lua script to adjust the windows layout for my different setups:
1. Laptop only mode
2. At home my MacBook screen is closed and connected to 2 external monitors
3. At work my MacBook screen is open and connected to 1 external monitor
The script detects the connected screen UUID and applies the appropriate layout

1. Extensions - almost anyone have some kind of extension installed, and Chrome absolutely wins in that category. that prevents people from switching over to Firefox. Personally I know people that switched to Firefox only after I showed them the extensions they us or an alternative exists on Firefox.
2. Advertisement - Google have a lot more advertising resources than Mozilla. For example, every new Android phone with Google Play Services ships with Google products already installed including Chrome (sometimes as the only browser).
It's not unfounded to think that most people will use the same browser they're using in their smartphone.
I actually worked in desktop support a couple of years ago but I never got anything about temp files, most of the time it was the usual stuff (Internet stopped working, computer won't boot, etc.)
The only thing that could go wrong with this kind of switch is software compatibility, and as long as this chips could run x86 software properly and will have same or better performance, I don't mind.
