    In this case it happened because your fiddle use jQuery 1.7.2 in this release you can find:

    // Deprecated, use jQuery.browser.webkit instead
if ( jQuery.browser.webkit ) {
    jQuery.browser.safari = true;
}

    Both browsers chrome and safari are based on webkit.

    Solutions:

    1. You can update jQuery. Like in this fiddle.

    2. You can use advices from docs like:

      $.browser.chrome = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf('safari') > -1;
$.browser.safari = ( $.browser.safari && /chrome/.test(navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase()) ) ? false : true;

    You can watch this in action here.
