Technically, Safari 10 is faster than Google Chrome, but I started using Chrome, and DAMN it's blazing fast. I used Safari before this, and it was fast, but Chrome is just... WOW. So why is Chrome faster, when the specs show that Safari is the fastest?

Chrome uses a V8 JavaScript engine which is currently one of the fastest around.

Chrome is the best web browser that i used and it is much faster than mozilla firefox. Also, google chrome does not have a problem with the connection as the dial-up connection window is not appear while i'm using the internet compared to mozilla firefox and internet explorer 8 which i would say as an unstable web browser because IE8 always stuck when i'm using the internet.

Now the question is, does it have the same features as Firefox for me to make a switch? Does it have Tabs and does it save them upon close? How about smooth scrolling and opening links in a new tab just by clicking the mouse 3 (wheel) button. I'm forgetting a few things but those small ones does a lot for me lol. I should look into it though as for now Firefox has me.

Yea I just tried it and it is a lot faster than firefox but the addons is what I use, though I'll probably use chrome to quickly access my email or other sites.

I'd probably use chrome if it wasn't for firefox's addons.
