Chromium seems to use the native widget.


AFAIK even Safari Webkit only emulates native Cocoa widgets in a web page for performance reasons. It's just that Google seems to put a lot more effort into getting Mac Chrome right from the start.

I'm sure that has something to do with Chrome being the platform for Google's office applications and their desire to make things as simple and seamless as possible for users.

I just wish some of that thinking would make its way back to Firefox.
