article: Google Chrome Is The Worst Browser
-
The page content should be pixel-accurate for most content even if there were two different rendering engines because the specs are precise. If they are different, that's either in an area where the spec leaves decisions to the user agent or where the rendering engine is not compliant. iOS does include multiple HTML components, so perhaps it is now possible for an app to use a different renderer than iOS Safari uses, but if so, the renderer is still provided by Apple.

I got to the part about how much memory it uses and didn't bother with the rest. That was the case several years ago. It is now far more memory efficient. <shaming> I know this, because I was shown the error of my ways in a technical debate I had a while back, when I suggested it was a memory eater. </shaming> It would want 8GB just to open a single default home page. Now It uses less that 1GB for the multitude of tabs that I have open at any given time.
Nothing succeeds like a budgie without teeth.
Chrome is still the only browser that will periodically freeze up for 10-30 seconds of apparent garbage collecting when reducing its memory footprint on my work machine from 10-12gb to 2-4gb.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

Chrome is not perfect
I never claimed that it is. I just stated that of all the browsers I have used I find Chrome works best for me. So when someone says it is the worst browser ever I tend to dismiss his opinion because it does not match my experience.
You are right, it is far from being the worst. Technically the other side (except on 32 bit systems, where still IE11 the only sane memory consumer on Windows) But unfortunately it is a weapon like IE6 was.
