I fully agree - I've used Chrome exclusively since it appeared on the Mac, but Safari 5.1 on a new MacBook Air has made me switch. The gestures and little added features (shift + click a link to send it to the "reading list) really are incredibly useful to the extent that I don't mind losing Chrome's syncing and awesomebar capabilities. When they presented some of these things during the keynote, I rolled my eyes, but all of the gestures (and their animations) are incredibly useful. Once you've double tapped to zoom in on a video, going back to Flash's full-screen functionality feels clumsy. The animations that happen when you swipe to go back/forward in your history are really essential. An underhyped but incredibly well implemented feature: in an article webpage, Option + Escape launches reader mode and immediately reads the complete article text using OSX's Text-To-Speech. |

1) only 1 URL/search box (replaced by SafariOmnibar on Safari, doesn't work perfectly with Resume)
2) the search engine capabilities from the omnibar ("st mac" would search "mac" on StackOverflow) which I replaced with Alfred.
Don't miss Chrome at all anymore (still use it for its embedded Flash capabilities).
