    Lightbulb Browser Wars

    Well hey guys,

    I'm looking for some opinions in the browser wars On Macs.
    I use a MacBook Pro and I can't decide if Safari or Chrome is the better browser.
    I have been using Safari the entire time until today when I found out that Chrome supports the multitouch gestures the same was Safari does. It has the same look & feel as well. The only thing I don't like about Chrome is the interface isn't as polished as Safari. I believe Chrome is quite a bit faster than Safari though.

    Anyone else use a Mac and have some advice?

    Thanks!

    Chrome forces me to use the scroll bar (or the scroll feature of the notebook's touch pad) - when I'd really much prefer to scroll up or down the screen itself.

    When you purchased your Mac, you probably wanted the best web browser offered, whether it be Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, or some other worthy candidate. After all, quality hardware should also contain quality software. There has been much controversy on what truly is the best browser available for a Mac. Some say that Chrome is, and always will be, the best ever.

    Others believe that it’s easier to stay with the default browser because it offers more functionality to the OS. While this is true and I’m not going to attempt to change those believers’ opinions, there is more to the situation than just that. For instance, Chrome does offer more than plugins than Safari does extensions, but this doesn’t necessarily make the latter a weak and functionless application, it just makes it a bit less desirable.

    Chrome is definitely where it's at right now.

    Not helpful. Firefox wasn't an option because it isn't optimized to work with Macs. It's not like I haven't tried Firefox.. that's what I used for years.

    What do you mean? Can't you just double finger scroll on both? that's what I do..
