## Safari so slow compared to Chrome:

![Why is Safari so slow compared to Chrome (looking for a technical answer)? Also, why doesn](https://answers.mindstick.com/questionanswer/6463131b-a6e9-4586-8da7-a9eca42fb588/images/82131753-1a3d-45a8-ac8a-379c8b77c6cd.jpeg) **\**

- Blink is used by Chrome, while WebKit is used by [**Safari**](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/95493/what-if-safari-stopped-working). Chrome is not a native application, whereas Safari is. As a result of being designed exclusively for Macs, Safari is incredibly powered efficient.
- Apple integrates Safari further into its system with each macOS update, making it faster and more resource-efficient. Chrome, on the other hand, has a reputation for consuming a lot of RAM. Since it doesn't have the same system integration benefits, it's less efficient almost by definition.
- On all systems, Apple's Safari web browser is faster than Google Chrome.
- Allow Plug-ins should be unchecked in Safari/Preferences/Security. **Quit and reopen Safari.** Uncheck all plug-ins in Safari/Preferences/Security Plug-in Settings if Safari is working regularly. Then, one by one, allow plug-ins and recheck them until you locate the issue.
