Safari 5 vs. Google Chrome? Thoughts?

[NovemberWhiskey]

Chrome is probably a good choice for you. Considering your signature, your profile, your location, etc. you obviously don't mind having a lot of your information floating around online. I'm not saying that's wise, but it is what it is.

Give up on trying to undermine Google's products simply because their main business model is search advertising.

Yeah, they mine our data. So does Facebook. I'm sure Apple does too to some degree.

That doesn't mean Chrome is inferior to Safari, or that we shouldn't use Chrome because they are somehow spying on us more than all of the other advertisers on the web.

Yes, I advocate privacy. More so than most. But your argument is getting a little ridiculous.

CHROME for me baby, no spinning beachballs!!!

Have to agree. Switched yesterday to Chrome from an increasingly sluggish Safari. (And should have done it earlier.)

I'm just wondering whats taking so long for Safari 5.2? There needs to be a lot of fixes!

That's what many people say. I have tried multiple times to just use Safari (just because) and I just can't do it. It feels clunky. Small amounts of add-ons, and it's slow.

Just because it ships with your computer doesn't mean it's the best; you don't' see people asking whether IEx is better than Firefox/Chrome.

Of course, that's a completely different subject, but I thought I'd throw that in there as well

I don't see why people prefer Chrome instead of Firefox. Care to enlighten me?

I've used Chrome and I don't know what the fuss is about. I find Firefox uses less memory and is faster than Chrome. And one thing Firefox has that makes me absolutely LOVE it, is Tab Panorama. It's excellent if you have 25+ tabs open like me. And then there's the number of extensions. And Firefox for me almost never crashes even when I'm using the bleeding edge version (Firefox 10).

The only reason I even keep Chrome on my laptop is for playing the occasional flash videos since I refuse to install flash on my laptop.

For me, Chrome is faster. Canary, the bleeding edge version, has the auto page loading where it will load sites as you type them, allowing for a near instant load when typing in something you visit often.

I also like the interface; I feel like Firefox's top bars take up too much space.

I've been using Firefox a lot though; I'm on it right now in fact.
