Safari's Javascript engine runs faster than Chrome's on the Mac. I'm not sure what went wrong in the Windows port.

  Not true. At best they are equal. Most of the times chrome bests safari. http://www.manu-j.com/blog/chrome-vs-firefox-vs-safari-vs-webkit/382/ http://www.manu-j.com/blog/chrome-vs-firefox-vs-safari-vs-we...

    Alright, sure, they do about the same on Apple's tests and Chrome wins on Google's. But I've seen tests (e.g. http://news.cnet.com/safari-challenges-chrome-on-web-app-speed/ http://news.cnet.com/safari-challenges-chrome-on-web-app-spe...) of Safari on Windows that put it behind even Firefox in Javascript speed, on Apple's own tests!

      The linked test wasn't "google's", it was independent. And you do realize that that cnet link you posted, while it might look a little anomalous for the safari numbers, shows a huge win for chrome? Really, there isn't any meaningful debate that V8 is the current king of the hill in Javascript performance, by a pretty large margin. Your statement that Safari's engine runs faster than Chrome's isn't supported by any evidence of which I am aware.

  I don't know why everyone is downvoting this, it's true as of 12/9/09. On SunSpider, Safari edges out Chrome by about 12%. source: http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9142004/Safari_edges_Chrome_in_Mac_speed_trials http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9142004/Safari_edges_... Now of course on Windows there is no contest, Chrome is faster, but on Mac Safari is slightly faster.
