What is the FASTEST Internet Browser for OSX? (2014 Edition)

What is the FASTEST Internet Browser for OSX? (2014 Edition)

I'm a tech junkie, I love everything about technology.. especially FAST and EFFICIENT technology..

I am currently using Google Chrome, and have nothing bad so say about it.. I like that I can "sign in" to Google Chrome pretty much anywhere (including my iPhone 5s), and instantly have access to all of my Bookmarks and Bookmark folders..

I have seen a bunch of benchmark tests testing a bunch of available internet browsers on OSX.. however, the results seem a bit inconclusive and varying, and some that even support the notion that Safari is now FASTER than Google Chrome.. I'm not sure whether or not to believe it, and I don't really have the time/energy to conduct a series of tests on my own..

What do you guys think? Is Google Chrome still considered the "fastest" when it comes to browsing/downloading?

Safari indeed features a splendid speed, but after I installed a memory monitor in my mac, I stopped using Safari. Why? It is because Safari's memory usage is extremely high, even more than Call of duty Modern Warfare 3, a 60FPS video game. A soon I discovered this horrible fact, I used firefox after all. Also talking about google Chrome, it is no good at all. IT cannot download any files with stability that is over 1 GB. As a conclusion, Go for firefox.
