oh...my...god. Hilarious. That's one of the the most hilarious things i've seen on mr in years!
rotfl!

Development of extensions is also way easier on chrome and safari (at least in my own experience).
It says a lot about Google's marketing power. It doesn't say much about having made a better tool. By user share logic, Windows is clearly a superior product, especially XP. Also the browser market share numbers differ depending on the source. It's not an exact science.The fact that Chrome, a much newer browser has overtaken Firefox in terms of user share, in a much shorter timeframe says a lot.
Also the fact that Firefox moved from a 'long' release cycle to a more regular release cycle (the same as Chrome) just makes it more evident that Chrome took them by surprise.
I don't really care to look at memory usage much but you claim shocked me so I've opened 3 tabs in safari and checked activity monitor. I think something may be wrong with your safari because your 2GB+ figure is way off. 238.2mb for me
Safari is slow, if you open a few dozen tabs and requires large amounts of RAM. Firefox can display the same pages and uses less resources.Surprisingly enough, a few do, though it's getting increasingly hard to see why.
Spying.I've used Firefox on OSX for years with no issues. Maybe my needs aren't the same as others, but its been just fine on my retina laptop.
I would very much like to hear what specifically chrome does better.
That is very naive.You don't "trust" Chrome?
I don't get why people freak out about Google having a little bit of information about us. They're a reputable company so they're obviously never going to try to use that info to harm us in any way. And it's not like there are specific people watching over what you do, it's all stored in their system to help make your Google experience better.
The only reason that I can think of to worry about Google is if you're doing illegal things online. If that's the case then you shouldn't use Firefox, you should stop doing illegal things.
Thats not what "official" descriptions of the word would say, even from U.S. sites. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=d...&sugexp=chrome,mod=0&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
Spying.
Care to provide evidence, or are you happy to agree that thats 100% FUD.
Google overrode third party cookie preference settings for Safari and IE users to gain additional ad revenue. That's all the "evidence" many people are ever going to need. Trust matters.

Yes thats wonderful, we all already knew about that.
Now. How about you actually back up what you said about Google Chrome and Spying.
Also FYI the Safari cookie bypass is not spying. Its enabling a cookie to track an anonymous id to show related adverts. Get real - there's not some sad gimp sitting in Mountain view watching your every move.
Trust is a delicate thing. If Google can't be bothered to honor privacy settings for Safari or IE users (for monetary gain or sloppy coding or whatever other reason), why would anyone trust the integrity of a browser they themselves developed?
How about you actually show me where I said that?

Go learn how to code and work on a software team. You will quickly find out how very embarrassing mistakes can slip threw the cracks. When the QA department does test they test common set up. Chances are the testing was done in Chrome/FF
Wired.com said:Safari blocks the sites that power those services from setting or reading cookies, so a Facebook widget on a third-party site, for instance, can’t tell if you are logged in, so it can’t load a personalized widget. Google, along with a number of ad servers, were caught by Mayer avoiding this block, using a loophole in Safari that lets third parties set cookies if the browser thinks you are filling out an online form. (See a good technical overview here.)
Google’s rationale seems to be that Apple’s default settings don’t adhere to standard web practices and don’t actually reflect what users want, since the browser never asks users if that’s the privacy setting they want. Facebook even goes so far as to suggest to outside developers that getting around the block is a “best practice,” linking to a developer’s blog post from 2010 that includes sample code on how to circumvent the block.
Google said it used the backdoor so that it could place +1 buttons on ads it places around the web via its Adsense program, so that logged-in Google+ users could press the button to share an ad. Without the work-around, the button wouldn’t be able to tell Google which Google account to link the button to.
Make up whatever sad "poor overworked Google coder" story you want, but the facts don't support your claims. Google didn't like how Apple (and Microsoft) prevented Google from acquiring valuable tracking information for their revenue-generating Adsense program, so they intentionally coded around it. Why would anyone trust Chrome to honor privacy settings in light of this behavior?
Is that ******* that you have opened on another tab?
LMAO
It's funny that that's your experience; mine has been the exact opposite. As I said, I use Safari regularly and Firefox occasionally, but one of the reasons I don't even consider Firefox as an option for a primary browser is that it's so damn slow once you have a few windows or tabs open.Safari is slow, if you open a few dozen tabs and requires large amounts of RAM. Firefox can display the same pages and uses less resources.
why does it stink?
I really hope your joking - OmniWeb, Roccat, Stainless, iCab, Sunrise... Blah blah blah etc. etc.
The post I quoted stated that Camino was the only browser made specifically for OSX in which I replied that Safari was also made for OSX. I don't know where your post came from.
