One of my favorite things about Safari is that content blocker extensions like adguard aren't actually allowed to see any of the sites you're visiting. Safari just takes the blocking rules from the extension and applies them without passing along any of your browsing data.

[@Sabhysachi]

my reason for switching to safari is that it is insanely optimise for MacBook and consumes very less energy infact I would say it uses half the battery when compared to chrome that the only reason why I stop using chrome😎😎

[@sdeeyoktar8442]

I'm a web developer. I don't use Safari because it lacks development tools

[@tilvalhalla9343]

ahh so .05% of people are inconvenienced by safari

[@max-pedrero]

It does have development tools, and I actually prefer them over Chrome’s

[@Alwatani24]

I use safari and will always use safari

[@MrAljosav]

Fun fact: 0:15, you can’t actually drag safari to trash on macOS, due to signed system volume (SSV) and system integrity protection (SIP)

[@akin242002]

Safari is a decent browser. It just doesn't have the nice/special features of other browsers. - Edge has the most features and good RAM efficiency, but the least privacy. - Brave offers the most privacy and works well, but ok features. - Opera is a great browser for gamers but gives all your data to the China government. - Firefox is good, but not as RAM efficient and doesn't work on some websites.

[@DarioVolaric]

As a font-end developer, I wish Safari just used the Chromium engine. Coding for Safari on a Windows pc is a nightmare.

[@jonathanwingmusic]

FYI it's not exactly the same but if you pin a tab for a website you go to frequently, it will basically stow it to the side showing only its Favicon, but not have it actually open.

[@TannerBarcelos]

For any frontend related work I do in my software engineering role, I will use Chrome, but for everything else I use Safari. I am trying to fully embrace the Apple apps as I am already deep into the ecosystem. Safari will run best on my M1 Pro MBP but I do miss a lot of features of Chrome - especially `Labs` and generative AI.

[@rickynyc2603]

I'm trying safari for a week.

[@Klugscheisser997]

Isn't there a VidIQ version for Firefox, so you might consider switching to Firefox or at least giving it a chance?

[@alexhernandez8408]

Thank you! you made my choise an easy one!

[@muneerfaizal7997]

I use the base variant ipad so I’m really careful in terms of managing storage and trust me Safari collects more personal data than chrome and if you don’t frequently delete your cache,history & cookies manually it’s gonna accumulate a ton of space on your system, I don’t know why people are really concerned about google collecting data from users while apple,Microsoft,meta and amazon does the same and get away with it

[@cjdadon1]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Google usually collects your data and sell it off to corporations. True all companies do it, but it depends on what they do with it, and how much you’re allowing them to take.

[@muneerfaizal7997]

@@cjdadon1 not just Google, companies such as apple, meta, amazon are also making money by selling users data and pushing ad’s based on the usage algorithm. we accuse Google because google makes its profit from its search engine and software so collecting user data is the primary source of revenue for google and meta but on amazon and apple its different they also have a hardware division so people don’t really mind sharing private data to apple and amazon services. + both apple and amazon have the resources and wealth to get away with it in short all companies are the same. Have you ever experienced this: searching a product on amazon for a few minutes and later when you use any social media platform such as fb, Instagram or Snapchat you can see ads and reels relating to your recent amazon search, that’s scary right ? Which is a clear indication that these companies not just collect data they also share it to each other. So in the future Privacy can’t be guaranteed regardless which platform you are using.

[@OmniKoneko]

Are you stupid? A browser saving your History, Cookies and Cache so that you have a faster browsing experience is not the same as them collecting data on the websites that you visit, the things you search, your habits and creating a profile about you to sell so that you get targeted ads and more. You can turn all of that off by the way, but I'm guessing that you don't want to log in into your accounts and change your settings every time that you visit a app or website because you turned off your cookies and cache.

[@Homepage.]

@@cjdadon1 YES!!!!! I used incogni (a website that sends an actual legally binding email to data brokers that forces them to delete your info) after I used Chrome, Incogni had sent 7,983 e-Mails asking to delete my data. I moved to safari and incogni only sent 80 E-mails (Please look up what Incogni is, also both of these “results” were from just 8 months of use each)

[@yoRRnl]

The plus side for adding extensions through Apple store, is that those extensions are checked by Apple. Many chrome extensions are shady, and can bring you in danger. Something to think about ;) p.s. are you planning a review on your Mac studio in the background? :D

[@fulconandroadcone9488]

They could have made an extension store just to separate it out and do the same checking.

[@nicolaryan9485]

I normally use Crome or safari

[@afonseraz]

i was all my life chrome user but since I started work in 2 jobs and have to use 2 profiles in chrome is making me nuts, I started to hate switch screens and the design is disgusting, im sick of this chromium design so I started to use safari a week ago and for now im good but I have 2 things is struggling me: 1 - URL looses focus when im trying to type there, idk why, I found some guys relating that but no fix find 2 - Google meet its sucks in safari ( and firefox ), the filters to hide background don't works either screen share so im kind lost what to use, I tried firefox as well but nothing there makes me happy

[@MarcP5267]

What’s interesting for desktop Chrome dominates. However when it comes to mobile and tablets Safari has a slight edge. I suppose the reason is Apple is the king of tablets and the popularity of the iPhone.

[@SylveonMujigaeOfficial]

I personally feel as if Google Chrome has like a dangerous dominance over the US market, but I have contemplated switching away from Chrome as early as 2020, before completing the transition in late 2021.

[@MarcP5267]

@@SylveonMujigaeOfficial Chrome has a dominance on desk tops but not mobile or tablets. Safari wins in the mobile and tablets.

[@SylveonMujigaeOfficial]

@@MarcP5267 Before I finally returned to iPhone earlier this year, I mostly used Firefox and Opera on my Android phone, but I haven’t used a tablet since I tried my then 3-year-old Windows tablet in like 2019.

[@sdfjsd]

Actually on iOS, Chrome is a skinned version of Safari, but worse. Safari has 100% dominance on iOS, and there is no browser competition on the operating system.

[@funeralhouse6280]

because chrome ios has no APK file system 😢

Only because of favicons I'm staying on chrome too

Google has hampered Safari by making KZbin on Safari glitchy.

[@sdfjsd]

Even some non-Google websites don't work correctly on Safari. The last time I tried Safari was two years ago, so I don't remember what those websites were.

[@thomaspalmer5098]

there is an option since 1 or 2 versions to have bookmarks icon

I"ll be sticking to google chrome too man

[@Rick_Sanchez_Jr.]

Safari is honestly worse than internet explorer. Sticking with Chrome & Firefox

Internet explorer doesn’t exist anymore but firefox is really bad. Chrome and safari are on par with eachother but safari is better than chrome on mac

You might want to reconsider Chrome. It writes to the ssd on Macs shorting the live span of the ssd also it’s a usage hog

[@SylveonMujigaeOfficial]

I ditched Google Chrome in late 2021 for Opera and Firefox, alongside the usage of Safari.

[@Craylor]

Ditching one browser to use 3 instead! 🤣 In all seriousness, I am all for ditching Chrome!

[@sdfjsd]

You use three browsers?

[@Bozsodi_Adam]

Does anyone have Chrome on iPhone?!

[@SylveonMujigaeOfficial]

I have Firefox on my iPhone.

[@websurfer945]

idk why, I have been experiencing some significant slows using Safari, especially with a few tabs open, and none of them happened while im using Chrome

[@g0d638]

people should always use something else than google chrome. they have too many users. and opera is owned by china? i might be wrong. but if its true then opera is a BIG NO NO Firefox ftw

[@Craylor]

I do believe Opera has Chinese ties. Maybe I should try Firefox next!

[@g0d638]

@@Craylor i don't have a mac. but on my phone safari is nicely integrated with the other apple things. Firefox does have nice features tho, my favorite is the container feature, it gives you the ability to group different sites in "containers" so they stay isolated (cookies are stored in the container)

[@paramsingh4104]

I don't even use the bookmarks bar in the first place. For me, Safari Ad blocker extension doesn't do the job as good as Chrome's. So that's a deal breaker for me.

[@j_yh]

I believe that on Mac OS Safari uses chromium. On iOS it does not, but on your Mac desktop or laptop, I believe it does. But I think your motivation is a little off. “People” are not distrustful of chromium. They are distrustful of Google Chrome. It is the Google Chrome browser that sends all the data back to the mothership. Chromium (the open source version) has most of that stuff stripped out. But I am a Firefox user. So what do I know?

[@Craylor]

Safari is definitely not based on Chromium. This is a rumor that was going around for a while. Safari is based on Apple’s own WebKit. And I see/hear a lot of users consciously wanting to avoid Chromium. Many believe that Chromium’s code is still reporting certain user data back to Google.

[@j_yh]

@@Craylor ok noted. I know that webkit applies to the iOS version, but was not clear on MacOS. "Many believe" sounds like a rumor too. It's entirely open source. It's hard to believe that there would still be telemetry or something hiding in there, with a world of devs sniffing around the code. But I get you that there could still be many untrusting people looking for alternatives.

[@sjatkins]

@@j_yh It is webkit originated and definitely NOT chromium. I worked at Apple and I know this for certain.

[@winstonthompson6210]

Apple is vocal about not turning the web completely over to google, so they would never use Chromium as their browser engine, in fact there is a App Store rule that all browsers must use WebKit. And if Safari used Chromium, then chrome's extensions would work on it

[@SylveonMujigaeOfficial]

Being a Firefox user, I know about the Quantum engine Mozilla developed for it. Firefox is FOSS anyway, and it is the default browser on all Linux machines, even though Linux is only used on 2% of computers globally.

[@sjatkins]

Having my browser controlled by Big Tech is not better in any way. Nor are most of the frontend dev tools there in Safari. No thanks.

[@reamsel]

I got tired of having tabs reopen after I closed them in safari. Google chrome is the best. and you can also have tonnes of extensions

[@gokhanyildirim8557]

chrome is faster, better and stronger Chrome takes out Safari Safari is just dellusional for apple fan boys just because your hardware has better battery, camera and slightly better performance doesnt make you superior to Microsoft or Google in terms of software
