Neither I...
Weird stuff, I wonder what version of windows they refer to in that article, I use 1511 and I work flawlessly without adds of any kind (of course, disabled some useless resource hogging tasks updated latest patches and then disabled Windows Update service).
I just upgraded my VGA drivers, and chipset. BOOM, rock solid. Also, I use Firefox (faster than Chrome and doesn't cry about accelerated canvases...)
What about what Microsoft keeps doing, changing default search providers and home pages in IE and edge every other update?
I dislike Chrome for one reason:
If you have even one browser window open or more of course and extentions the resources it consumes is a bit much. Looking in the Task Manager on other users computers shows a HOARD of Chrome entries. Hmm....then again...memory is cheap.

I have switched to Opera and love love love it! I recommend that if you have not tried it recently that you do so.
You might be pleasantly surprised (as I was) that it is quick, visually pleasing and for my work flow just works better than Chrome.
It also has an import feature which brings in ALL you bookmarks, cookies, and other setting from Chrome so you lose nothing and the transition is seamless!
Give it a go and see if you like it as much as I do after just a few days of using it.
