Whatever Apple is doing with Safari, it seems much more resource efficient than Chrome on OS X. (Firefox is somewhere in the middle). Chrome can become unusable under a normal load, while Safari almost never does no matter how much I abuse it. Safari seems to hibernate background windows and tabs much better.
If the tradeoff for accomplishing that resource efficiency is not supporting all of the edge case features Google puts in its browsers, I'm ok with that. It's nice to have that option.
