Saying Chrome is a fork of Safari as if it's a bad thing and the only word on the subject is a bit disingenuous. Safari is built on WebKit which is built on KHTML (which predates Apple having their own browser). Chrome was also built on WebKit but Google has now forked it themselves into Blink which will be used by Chrome, Chromium, Opera, Iron, etc so they don't have to deal with Apple while improving the code. As for Safari itself, I don't know about Mac OS X, but I know it was a disaster on Windows. But then, Apple has always only barely been able to develop Windows software. That's one of the reasons Apple abandoned it. iTunes it seems Apple only develops on Windows because they have to and they do as little as possible with it, hence the slow, custom UI that violates all Windows UI guidelines.
