Google Chrome-Way to copy Safari

I was just watching a video on youtube about Google Chrome because i wanted to see what all the fuss was about. the more i watched the more i could not believe how Google completely copied Apples "Safari" web browser. I would like to know your opinions on it.

The actual Application has A LOT of differences in the core. The only similarity I am seeing is webkit and the fact that it has a nice clean GUI (unlike the epic fail of FireFox).; ▶ Reply to This

Chrome is also the most secure browser btw, its been proven in hacking tests.; ▶ Reply to This

And safari 4 moved the tabs to the bottom,their costumers did not like it,and the separate search box that was customizable....was better,Safaris squirrelfish high performance browsing environment has been around since early last year,in the Safari 4 developers preview Iand that very BETA(DP1) is still the fastest Bowser ever made.; ▶ Reply to This
