Chrome's top area takes up 6 more vertical pixels than Safari, if both browsers have bookmark bars and tab bars showing. Maybe I'm splitting hairs, but I think it makes the browser look just a bit bulkier. My favorite thing about Chrome on Windows is that the default interface is more minimal and streamlined than other browser, at least when it's maximized. The menubar in OS X limits the available space Chrome can use, but it can at least be reduced so it's on par with Apple's flagship browser. Several pixels could be shaved off the top and bottom of the bookmarks bar, and the click area for the actual bookmarks could stand to be reduced a bit.
