[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1287099, member: 71075"] It does use WebKit but it also uses its own JavaScript engine and had its own sandboxing and process framework ages before Safari had it. I'll agree with the bookmark management but given my rather limited bookmark needs, I can't really comment further than "yes, it needs some work." Chrome uses Cocoa, unlike Opera and Firefox, which makes it a much more nimble and well-integrated application. The canary builds (super bleeding edge) for instance have implemented full screen (if this is a concern). The browser as a whole then operates much better as a Mac "citizen" relative to Firefox and Opera. It's also updated much more frequently than Safari which has a glacial update speed (and that's an understatement). Don't get me wrong - Safari is a solid browser. I just think that Chrome (along with every other browser) has something to offer that the others don't. [/QUOTE]
