Depends on the time of year. Safari is sometimes faster after Apple updates it to a new version number. Chrome catches up by releasing a new version every 2 months so it usually faster.

They're pretty comparable. People decide which to use based on features.

I like safari better, but chrome can be faster. Also chrome is shedding webkit so they will most likely be faster in time.

Speed really doesn't matter. All modern browser are so close in performance that it really doesn't matter. Internet Bandwidth, to server latency and all those things make more of a difference.

Choose a browsers based on what offers good usability because that is the point of a browser. It is a GUI that should enable you to comfortably navigate the web. They all render sites in split seconds whether one is 0.4ms faster nobody can possibly notice. The news sites only make these benchmarks because it is easy and objective. GUI comparison is tedious and very subjective.

I think Safari sucks in usability. Chrome is much better.

Amen to this! I use Safari simply because it fits the OS X theme better (for me at least).

I'm wondering which one to go with on I phone 5. It probably doesn't make much difference?

Thanks

These days the javascript engine is probably the gating factors. So many sites have tons of ads and other controls that contain script.

You shouldn't be concerned about the speed. They're both fast.

Think about:

• Energy consumption
• Privacy
• UX
• Most importantly: TouchBar integration
