Well, why do you use Safari?
- nessus42 14y agoI use Safari because in my experience Chrome is rather buggy on a Mac. Particularly with regard to Spaces. E.g., if I move a Chrome window to a different Space, all of my other Chrome windows will tag along for the ride. It makes using Chrome rather unbearable. Additionally, Safari's interface for managing bookmarks is much nicer.
- DriesS 14y agoI'm using firefox because of the same reason, google chrome is using a lot of memory on mac...
- ktsmith 14y agoI use Chrome on a Mac with a half dozen spaces with multiple monitors and have never had problem moving between spaces. Out of curiosity are you using the release, beta or dev channel?
- nessus42 14y agoI just use the standard release of Chrome. I Googled about the problem several times and all I could find out is that some people experience this issue and others don't, and no cure was known. The problem did not go away via numerous upgrades of Chrome, so I eventually gave up.
- mattblalock 14y agoHrm, I use Spaces and Chrome with no problems. This isn't the case for everyone.

- archgrove 14y agoI use it because it supports proper continuous zooming with pinch-to-zoom on a trackpad (exactly like Safari on iOS devices). Chrome does a weird step-by-step increment that seems to involve re-laying out the page at each step. The multi-touch interaction with Safari is just better in general, IMO.
- ollysb 14y agoI hadn't noticed that, it's pretty slick actually, if you keep pinching it also zooms out to show you all of the tabs you have open.
- micheljansen 14y agoI use iCloud to sync bookmarks and open tabs between my Mac and iDevices (Chrome is not nearly as good as Safari yet on iOS).
- meh01 14y agoSafari 6 is excellent. Faster than Chrome on OS X.
