As it’s been said in several places, once you get used to using Chrome on the Mac, it just grows on you. The general minimalist nature of the browser captures you. The little animations used to open and close a tab, rearranging the tabs animation, the drop down search field, the fact that the tabs stay the same size, all of these details begin to actually make the browsing experience more pleasant.

After 2 years on the Mac, I’ve actually switched from Safari. Firefox is a thing of the past for me. Now the extensions are definitely on par with anything Firefox has to offer, on both Safari and on Chrome, and actually as always there are a few innovations that are even more killer on Safari for example.

At first I thought that the space between the tabs and the menu was a waste of space. In actual fact it’s what makes it work on the Mac. It’s a shame that the design philosophy taken up for Windows cannot be implemented on the Mac because I actually completely agree with it. Hopefully, when full page browsing comes to OSX Lion, we should be seeing another shift.
