Until then, I still think that Apple wins overall, if not the browser wars directly.Īpple Chrome Google iPad iPhone iphone 3g iPhone 3GS iPod iPod Touch SafariĬhrome & Safari are both based on Webkit that means they both will render pages quite identically, though Chrome has the edge on speed and some Google services integration – in example the drag and drop image in to email body in Gmail feature. When Chrome gets its act together, I’ll be a bit more apt to agree. But for now, I’ll be just fine with Safari. Is it something to be concerned about? Sure, I guess.

If Apple has the machines to access the Internet, then they’re most likely going to use software they want to use – like Safari. As of right now, Google builds subs out a phone, and their browser is mediocre at best.

I’m sure on a PC it’s just the bees knees, but right now I think it needs a little bit more spit and polish for the Mac before it’s ready to suit up in its Napoleon uniform.īut more importantly, even if Chrome did win the browser wars, we’re all going to need some device to access the internet. I’m constantly waiting for websites to load, watching the entire program freeze up, and getting more error messages that I thought were possible. I really, really want to like it, but it just breaks all the time. Let me state my personal opinion here: Google Chrome blows. Has Henry used Chrome? Has he used it on a Mac? That’s what Microsoft did in the ’80s and ’90s, and that’s what Google is doing now. Over the past 20 months, Chrome’s browser market share has gone from 0% to 7%. Apple Safari’s market share, meanwhile, has gone from 3% to 5%. (See the detailed share shifts here).Įxtrapolate those trends for a few more years, and Apple will be left with the same thing it was eventually left with in the PC market: a niche. Google, meanwhile, will be on its way to overtaking Microsoft and Firefox.Īlright, so the thing here is that Apple will eventually die out because they’re focusing on the hardware/software side of things with the iPhone and iPad, while Google supports a more universal standard. But let’s just get to the crux of this argument: And so on.ĭERISION! That’s the word I was looking for. The joy of Macs and iPads are the seamless integration of hardware and software. The App Store is miles ahead of the competition.
#Chrome vs safari mac android#
The iPhone is way better than any Android phone. What could that be?Īpple fans howl with derision at the suggestion that this could be deja vu all over again. Apple is CRUSHING everyone, they point out. I’m literally howling with some kind of D word. This time, the software platform that is threatening to kill Apple is Google’s Android/Chrome. Last time, the software platform that killed Apple was Microsoft’s Windows. Maybe I should just pull out a quote at this point so you get the idea. There’s an interesting article over at Business Insider, about how Chrome is kicking Safari’s butt currently, and how that will lead to the downfall of Apple as a company.
