Safari's speed is a tossup for me, in that opening new tabs and typing in the address bar both are often preceded by several second (!) delays before the UI responds. This persists across multiple instances of clearing all of my browsing data and even migrating to a new laptop. That I continue to use it over Chrome in spite of that implies a lot about the sorry state of browsers in general right now.
