Safari VS Firefox VS Google Chrome

At this very moment, I'm using the Chrome browser that I decided to give another chance this morning. It seems to be great so far (much better than when I tried it a year ago). Outside of not having a menu bar (how else are we expected to email links to pages?), are there any other disadvantages to using Chrome over Firefox and Safari?

I downloaded Chrome, used it for a while and then stopped using it. If I remember correctly, I had trouble printing a purchase confirmation from a website; I couldn't get the "printer friendly version" from the icon. I really never went back to using Chrome but I still have it available . I also downloaded Firefox 4Beta, tried it for a while and also had significant problems with some websites. I uninstalled it and went back to Firefox 3.6.10 I switch between Firefox 3.6.10 and Safari 5.0.2; I've had relatively good luck with both.

It's all a matter of personal choice, and there are lots of browsers for Macs out there. This site compares them all:

I only use Safari because I cannot find a faster browser, but I also have Firefox for the odd bit of research!
