I'm a little confused about your example with the address bar with
command
l. Can you give me step by step something to try in Chrome, then have me
try it again in Safari so I can specifically interactively see the
difference in what you mean? Sorry, I'm just more a hands on person.
Chris.

Subject: I just switched back to Safari from Chrome, here's why
Hi all,
Ever since getting the mac, I was told Chrome would serve me better; it
was faster, easier, and vo would not be "busy" as much. Now, though, I
have
decided to make Safari my default browser, and here's why.
* Reader: the reader feature is amazing. I opened an article from
twitter
and was faced with a bunch of social network links and other junk I
didn't
want to read before I could find the article text. I remembered Reader,
and
thought I'd try it. I pressed cmd-shift-r and... wow! The article's title
was a level one heading, and right below that was the article text. This
will save a lot of time in the future.
*Text Selection: I don't need it much, but now that we can select text
in
Safari and not in other web browsers, I like knowing I have the option;
in
Chrome, this would be impossible, or nearly so
* Speed: I don't find Safari any slower than Chrome, and neither
browser
gives me busy messages.
* Downloads: I haven't tried it, but I hear there's a keystroke to show
download progress. I like this, as I had nothing but problems downloading
more than one file in Chrome, even if the files were downloaded
separately
and not simultaneously.
* The address bar: in Chrome, cmd-l brings me to a field in which I can
type a url or a search term. That would be fine if it didn't also load a
page on whose content vo focuses, thereby causing me to have to find the
address bar all over again. In Safari, nothing of the kind happens; cmd-l
jumps me to a (properly labeled and hinted) edit field and leaves me
there.
That's all I have for now. If anyone has questions, let me know. If
anyone
is using Chrome, I suggest you take another look at Safari, especially
the
latest version (version 6 I believe).
Have a great day,
Alex (msg sent from Mac Mini)
