No FavIcons in Favorite Bar in Safari. Plus Chrome is so damn fast.

Safari is faster. Safari is much more stable. If plug ins crash, they only crash the tab, not the entire browser. Also, Chrome is from Google. Google's one and only motivation to make new products is to sell more ads. Apple's motivation is to make the best products. Just like iOS > Android, Safari > Chrome.
 
true, i have google chrome and i love it, super fast. but noticing small features like how smooth the intertial scrolling is on safari when compared to google chrome (not as fluid if you look close enough) and the fancy "top sites" page on safari is also nicer then google chromes. but yeah, after this safari update, i believe i may stick with safari ;)

"intertial" Learned a new word at a relatively advanced age. Nice apple, too.

And then live happily ever after? You can't be that naive and think Apples is only motivated to make the best products to satisfy it's customer and not think about money, while all other companies are only after money. EVERY company in the world is after money, unless they're a non profit organisation. And there is nothing wrong about that.

Almost every Google Software and Service is free, while Apple is known as the most expensive Hardware on the IT market.

Google's software and services are free but with a catch. You see ads all over the place. In Gmail, YouTube, Search, etc. I never said Apple doesn't think about money, I simply stated they try to make the best products. It's evident in their products. Unibody enclosures don't net you more profit. Neither does a retina display. Nor does their R&D in battery tech.

Just like apple products have a catch, they're locked down (iOS) and overpriced (macs) - (I have a mac and would never buy anything else, however). It is all opinion. They're both good browsers. Chrome if you want something that is actually updated and pretty quick, Safari if you want something that looks great and performs quite well.

Obviously someone is clueless on how the world works.

If it's overpriced then NO ONE would buy it.

People pay for products if it's worth it to them.

Would it make you feel better if I took "overpriced" out of my last post? Regardless, the point still stands. Everything has a catch, and it's all opinion.

oh please.. look at all the issues people have with Safari 5... lets see, Chrome loads videos faster (youtube, other flash sites, I streamed UFC 116 other day and safari constantly buffered while Chrome played it almost perfectly), sites open up in Chrome faster, I can have multiple tabs open doing various things without the slowdown that happens in S5 or the crashing.

edit - and it just crashed again in Yahoo, my business account is with Yahoo... so Chrome only for me
 
I switched to Safari 5 from Chrome. Safari 5 is much much faster than version 4 and it also seems to handle printing much better than Chrome (printing PayPal shipping labels is futile on Chrome). With the Xmarks app, that sealed the deal for me.

I still think Chrome is faster, but I'm very happy with Safari 5; which is all that matters.
 
2 facebook pages, 1 fan page, 1 personal page can sometimes crash Chrome. Maybe 10% of the time, but lately it's become more like 5%.

I've had Google's own services crash Chrome too.

Chrome for me. I don't like safari's UI or tabs on bottom.

Safari shows
- Title bar
- Navigation bar
- Tabs bar

Chrome shows
- Tabs bar
- Navigation bar

Safari displays 50% more information. But both use about the same vertical space.
 
I think a lot of people are misunderstanding Safari 5 a bit.

It DOES NOT sandbox tabs yet. That is coming in a future update.

http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WebKit2

All the proof you need. I'm not positive on Plugins. But that could be sandboxed so that if Flash crashes it only crashes flash. But the tabs themselves are NOT sandboxed. If one crashes in Safari it will crash the entire browser.
 
Safari 5's Reader. This thing alone trumps any feature/advantage other browsers may offer, in my opinion.
 
Google Chrome!

I use Google Chrome 15 beta. Has some features from OS X Lion. And I love how you can install themes on Google Chrome.
