Dreamweaver is your problem. It's sloppy software that shouldn't even be used to create sites with. A real developer writes in hand with CSS, which is what I guess you did?If Chrome doesn't show it right, it's your CSS that's the problem.
Im not a web developer/designer just a print based designer and so learnt Dreamweaver and CSS myself. As far as I know its very good code and passes the WC3 test save for one error which Im led to believe is nothing at all. Maybe you can clear that up for me but as I said it appears exactly as I want it to in both dreamweaver and Safari but with slight differences in position of text.

EDIT: I take back what i just said about one error. Theres 39 lol! Not sure why but it seems to be picking up my meta keywords as an error?!

Not sure whose numbers you've been reading, but IE is still the most widely used browser. Not by a huge margin, but still...
I like Safari's look and some of its features.
IT gets the auto fill right.
LIke the look. Minimalist. And the font looks better than Chrome which has a cheap look.
LIke the history layout. And a few other things.
But Chrome is much faster and has its own niceties like combined search/address bar, tabs open up adjacent to others and not at the end of tab row and did I say fast?
Chrome does do weird things sometimes though. For example, Chrome's auto-fill sucks big time. I get this ugly list of 20 version of my personal information to choose from when filling out a form. It doesn't work.
Safari doesn't remember your zoomed in settings for a webpage which I find annoying. Although not sure Chrome does either.
Chrome's history is ...meh. Here's the recent sites you visited. Great it looks just like my bookmarks. You have to click another button to get to a history of your specific pages.

I ran into a situation where FF 3 crashed on OS X taking 90 minutes of online application with it. I installed chrome, spent roughly an hour resubmitting the application and haven't used FF since. Any software that robs me of my time has to go. The critical flaw occurred when I was offered a print preview of a pdf generated by the online site. I decided to save it off to read later and that's when FF went down the toilet.
Chrome is slightly faster, a lot clunkier but at least it hasn't crashed and taken my work with it. I was also having problems with FF sync. I'm now using xmarks as I couldn't get google to properly sync either. Xmarks works all day every day on every browser and platform I want it to so if I ever tire of Chrome, I can use xmarks to take my profile over to another browser.
I've used dreamweaver to make a few web sites. I used it to convert clunky font tags and so forth to css but I found it a lot cleaner to start from scratch and have to define fewer styles than the dozens dreamweaver would come up with if I let it. While I still have DW installed, more often than not, I'm sitting in a terminal window editing html, css and php in vi.
One problem I have with Safari is it isn't really cross platform. Windows and OSX are not the only choices these days. On Linux, I still use FF but on my iThings (iPhone, iPad) I'm forced to deal with Safari. It does screw things up from time to time but it's not all that bad. Still, when I have a choice I use Chrome or FF.
