Here's a fairly recent comparison of the two. Personally I wouldn't use it. No full support of HTML5, which means all video types may not play, even if the site is feeding an HTML5 playback. It has other issues, as explained in the article.


I really, really wouldn't use Chrome. Nor would I wish it on anyone I know. Unless you don't mind that Chrome spends gobs of your computer's time collecting advertising and marketing data about your buying and computing habits and sending it back to Google. And in that same vein, do not use, or install anything else created by Google, such as Google Earth. They all install the same type of analytic tracking software. Avoid all Google apps. Period.


If there's some reason you wouldn't like to continue using Safari, Firefox is by far the next best choice.
