Safari vs. Chrome on MacBook
Totally unscientific, but i have a MacBook from early 2007 running Snow Leopard.
I have this pattern in Safari i play out again and again where i open an assload of tabs and they sit there not being read.
At this point, safari is slow, and opening a new tab, closing a tab, switching to a new tab… it’s all really slow. Safari is responds in a tar-speed like manner.
Well I opened up Chrome, which i haven’t tried since it was pre-beta for mac.
It works really well.. and it’s snappy, while Safari is still bogged down.
Perhaps this is just a memory issue.. or perhaps since Safari has been running for a week, and Chrome 3 or 4 days, Chrome has an advantage.
But it’s awesome.. and i am really liking Chrome.
One thing I like about Safari that Chrome does not have… Safari can view PDFs in the browser.
