Safari vs Chrome?

[iMas70]

Any preference between Safari and Chrome? I've been using Safari and like how I can view pages that are open on all of my iDevices and Mac. I've found that I can do the same with Chrome so which provides the better experience and why?

Thanks!

The only reason I use Chrome over Safari is because I think Chrome is much faster. Thats about it...

I mainly uses chrome. I like the speed of it, and the simplicity.

I know that Safari has been updated, and is a lot like that now, but it still seems like Safari runs faster.

When thats said, I hate that chrome's not yet 64bit, and in denmark all webbanking and electronic papers, is done thru java. I have to open safari to do that...

Safari just seems to run better on my macbook so that's the only reason I'm using it over Chrome :\

Chrome. Speed, clean UI, extensions.

Better battery, Less heat. Safari is my choice.

Safari does the job for me.

Safari felt fast and worked fine for me but just downloaded Chrome. Let's see how it works out.

Freudian slip 😉

I installed Chrome on everything and signed into my Google account on each. I've only used it for a little while so I can't say if it's better or faster than Safari. One drawback is that it can't be set as the default browser. So when I click on a saved link or app that opens a website on my iPad or phone, it opens it in Safari.

Say what?
When in chrome press "cmd" + ",". That will open the options "tab" for chrome. At the bottom, you can set it as your default browser. Voila 🙂

I like Chrome its super smooth to me, and like the extensions it offers.

I've never been a fan of Safari. I use Chrome on both my PC's and Macs. It's fast, and I like that it automatically synchronizes my bookmarks, extensions, and settings across all my computers when logged into my google account. Before Chrome, I used Firefox

 

[ScottNWDW]

Safari all the way.

 

[Rocketpaul]

i think safari is still the smoothest browser of the retina, so that the only reason i still use it

 

[Rossatron]

personally, i prefer safari. it looks nicer (in my opinion)

1 Vote for Safari, chrome just for youtube 😛

 

[ideal.dreams]

I use Safari because it's the only browser that supports OS X's features (i.e. pinch to zoom, disappearing scroll bars, etc)

 

[Dweez]

I've become a fan of chrome, and use it on my macs, ipad, windows box, iphone and droid razr. Safari gets very rare use...

I've been using Chrome as my main browser for a while now. I just like all the built-in tweaks that don't require additional software.

I see that in settings on my Mac Mini but what about on my iPhone and iPad? I searched online but couldn't find any way to do that. Actually, everything said that it can't be made as the default browser.

I prefer Chrome over Safari, but I think the former is draining the battery on my Macbook quite effectively...

32-bit is a no-go for me.

Safari - because it's not Google.
