Hello Leonid,

Yes, System Events doesn't really like such whose clauses.

Fortunately, since your list will very likely be kept rather short, you may allow for some verbosity:

	tell application "System Events"
		return application processes whose bundle identifier is "com.apple.safari" or bundle identifier is "com.google.chrome"
	end tell

HTH,
Axel
