Poll: Safari or Chrome?

[Jimbeam3678]

I've recently switched to Chrome as I got fed up of Safari hanging when searching in the address bar.

However I've found Chrome to be bit resource hungry on my mac so I'm unsure which one to stick with

What are peoples thoughts on here ?

For me I much prefer Chrome. I always have it open with around 20-25 tabs sitting on pages I use regularly. I've added a poll for you.

Safari here, I don't see any differences between the two, so just stick with stock.

Normally use chrome, mainly because i have a lot synced with my google account and use a lot of the extensions.

I use both, find Chrome can be really slow on an old c2d mbp with some sites. Safari seems to stay fast. On newer machines I just stick with Chrome.

Try opening up a bunch of these wiki pages up in Chrome on weak CPU macs

Thanks for the replies seems a mixed bag which doesn't help! Thank for the poll

Try the new Vivaldi browser instead.

Safari, Chrome is a horrendous battery killer.

Just tried safari again and its miles smoother and less hungry than Chrome! staying with Apples browser.

Flick between both. Primarily use safari but switch to Chrome if a page doesn't display correctly.

Safari.

Just looked this up. It runs on JavaScript. I stopped getting excited so much after that!

JavaScript is alright, it's Java that can be nasty.

Forgive my ignorance, I didn't realise there was much of a difference?

They are different languages

I like the saying:

Java and Javascript are similar like Car and Carpet are similar.

 

[ic1male]

Why did they called it Javascript then? Was it because Java was supposedly the best thing since sliced bread at the time?

 

[Phate]

According to Google...

Key differences between Java and JavaScript: Java is an OOP programming language while Java Script is an OOP scripting language. Java creates applications that run in a virtual machine or browser while JavaScript code is run on a browser only. Java code needs to be compiled while JavaScript code are all in text

There you go

Trying Vivaldi, not too keen on the appearance though.

Safari getting used more as it is now better for copy/paste and editing. It also now feels much smother than Chrome.

I've been using it on and off but I don't like having two separate search boxes again nor no bookmark syncing. Plus I don't think it has Flash managed (installed/updated) internally like Chrome.
