Hi Andrew.
For the example you provide, the image is of radio buttons.  These appear
natively drawn, so a difference between Mac and PC is expected.
 Similarly, <button>hi</button> will look different on Mac and PC.

I can't explain why Safari/Win and Chrome/Win have different ideas of native
radio buttons; I don't know enough about the native widget set on Windows to
offer ideas on implementation differences.

Does this make sense, or did I miss your point?
