Run this:

`lsof | grep webkit`

You'll need to run that as the user handling WebKit processes, so sudo might be required.

How does this prove that Safari gets an inherent performance advantage over Chrome? I guess on startup there could be a slight difference if the library is already loaded in memory.

No process there (Ventura, ran with sudo).

And like everyone has said that would only affect startup time. Safari does absolutely blow away Chrome at startup time, but it also is more performant in basically every other way: battery, memory, runtime, window resize, tab open/close/re-open, forward/back, paint, layout...

The UI also is more minimal making well built sites feel much more native than Chrome (on Mac and iOS) making sites feel much more native in practice, especially combined with all the performance.

Chrome feels like a dinosaur.

Safari feels like how Chrome felt 10 years ago :p
