    "Poor font rendering browser"

    May 11, 2012  |   By iMercy

    Pros

    It is fast but can not say it is the fastest browser on mac. Even iCab and Sleipnir run with lightening speed on my mac, let alone Safari.

    Cons

    Potential collection of private data is main concern. Another concern it does not renders pages properly. Texts (fonts) looks washed out grey on many websites. Even pdf file viewed in Chrome inline pdf viewer appears with washed out fonts. It appears to me Chrome is poor quality photocopier of websites. The same webpages appears just perfect in Safari, iCab, Firefox and Sleipnir. Really can't understand, how can some people claim it to be the best browser on mac.
