You belay your ignorance of webdev. Those three sites are all extremely heavy web applications - barely even "sites" - and I'm willing to bet you they still are faster on Chrome than on Safari (on non-Apple platforms).
> The same pages with the exact used browser features in Safari use just a fraction of the resources and actually provide a better browsing experience!
Instead of using your own subjective perception, you should try running a series of standard performance benchmarks, like the SunSpider JavaScript benchmarks[1] on Chrome and Safari on a non-Apple platform - then see if your perceived performance gap remains.

- nikolay 5y agoSubjective, really? So, I open the same tabs in both browsers and I see the resource utilization difference and that's subjective? I don't care about the browser features, which make Chrome use all available resources on my computer in 10 minutes after launching!
- fouric 5y agoI didn't say "resource utilization". I said "are faster" and "standard performance benchmarks". Those are two completely different things. Please read comments more carefully before replying. Meanwhile, even if you don't care about the features - tons of people do, and those browsers are built for them, too, not just you on your Apple hardware.
