I don't think they were advocating for Safari either...

I took that as a subtle rib against Safari

Safari and Chrome are closely related.

Not so close that they don't often display things differently.

Gmail and Google Docs for instance operate fairly poorly on Safari. Gmail often has UI glitches (e.g. the top part sometimes scrolls up permamently with no way to get it back). Google Docs on Safari lacks support for many features that Firefox seems to support—I've seen many examples of Docs that appear fine on Firefox but appear mangled in Safari. The engine in Safari seems to differ enough from Chrome that it has different approaches to rendering things. Either that or Google is deliberatly pushing faulty codes to Safari. Not sure which...

The engine used in Chrome is a fork of the one used in Safari, which is a fork of Konqueror's engine (KHTML).
