i feel its better, safari does not have a javascript console, javascript in safari is less productive. and safari does not have a DOM inspector, also 'view source' function in safari is uncomfortable - there's no coloring or formatting of source code; every tab or window in safari runs in a single process instead of multiprocessor model in chrome concluding all of that - safari cannot even try to pretend on chrome's speed or fail-safety =)
