> Blake3 is super promising as cryptographic hash function family due to its software performance

I am shocked how fast it is. Just tried it on several files. It is blazing fast.

brew install b3sum on mac.

Oh yeah Blake3 is just the best if it's accessible to you. I get that other algorithms are more ubiquitous. But if I need a crypto hash, I consider Blake first.

As a hardware developer: Blake3 is better than SHA1/2, but still far inferior to SHA-3 with regards to implementation area or ease.
