I looks just like Chrome, just a little better, however, after using for an hour we back to Chrome, doesn't appear faster on my PC... |

Safari has never been terribly fast on PC. At work I use it occasionally, it crawls, it's slower than Firefox, but on my Mac it's screaming fast. Same framekwork and webkit, I don't get it.

Is Chrome considered stable now? I used it for a few weeks when it first launched but all I kept hearing was not to use it yet as it's too exploitable and unsafe.

I feel bad for anyone who has a compute ancient enough where browsers actually feel different performance-wise.
Though on small devices it could be of some use, but for desktops/laptops... come on.

blade5x, no matter how fantastic your computer is, different software will always perform differently. It's also higly relevant whether the browser uses a lot of power. Browser developers could easily make the fastest browser ever. Problem is, it requires 1GB free RAM, a 3GHz dual-core processor and a CUDA compatible GPU and operating system.
What browser developers aim for, is good performance with less hardware usage. I.E. FireFox has always been wellknown for stupid memory leaks, where its RAM usage would just slowly rise higher and higher. That's why browser performance is relevant, even if you have a good computer.

ram usage did indeed creep up and up on windows, but this was nothing to do with memory leaks in firefox

Wasn't the bug only happening in FireFox? I mean sure, maybe it wasn't doing that on Linux, but if it's doing it on Windows and no other browsers are, then it's a memory leak.

the main issue today is Javascript performance
Javascript is (inherently) single threaded
so to get any sort of performance out of JS heavy web-apps, it's now up to the browser to act as a little mini-OS and manage workloads between JS function calls(\_ _/)
