Safari is much faster than it used to be. It's also tightly integrated with my phone, including password management functionality (similar to LastPass) that works on all my devices. You can also get AdBlock for Safari now, which wasn't always the case. It also has a snazzy built-in RSS reader and just looks better than Chrome.
What exactly is "clogging up memory" that everyone here complains about? I can understand if Chrome is using 6 / 8gb of your ram and you are simultaneously running photoshop and it can't grab any memory due to Chrome, but is this the case?
Shouldn't Chrome use as much RAM as it can to ensure speedy performance provided its not starving out any other applications?
I have little experience in writing desktop applications & memory management in an environment of this nature. Genuinely curious what the normal practice is.
Edit: To clarify, I am assuming the memory growth is not due to any sort of leaks :)
Do you have a reference for why this should be? A quick search yields results suggesting only the opposite (for instance, https://superuser.com/questions/738848/does-more-ram-usage-c...).
That said, eventually both get to 6g of ram in use and a restart is needed anyway.
Cheers!
Otherwise, I agree completely.
