My only complaint about Safari is I wish Apple would fully adopt PWA standards on iOS. I believe they don’t want to because it would make the App Store less necessary.

>Apple: Switch from Chrome to Safari!

Thanks, but I've already upgraded to Firefox.

I abandoned chrome for ff a few yrs ago when the privacy issues became impossible to ignore. I abandoned ff for safari about a year ago when performance problems became unbearable. My biggest annoyance was the lack of devtools until a single web search revealed that safari does in fact have a full featured set of devtools, you just need to turn them on. No complaints.

Reader mode and hide distracting items are phenomenal, use them both daily.

Proud Firefox user. Will suffer with it until my grave. This little fox has been giving me the beach ball on Mac ever since last year MacOS update, but I just Ctrl+Alt+Del and start it again....

The headline is so funny. "please please please please, I beg you stay on safari, I swear we better than chrome please please please we really want your data"

Chrome and Firefox have a decent developer experience, and their caniuse score > Safari.

The one thing that keeps me from using Safari is web apps can't update their tab's favicon. That means if you load a site that uses the favicon for notifications you either (a) login when you have a notification and it will now forever seem like you have a notification or (b) login when you don't have a notification and it will forever seem like you don't have any notifications.

Yes, you can clear a cache sometime for a one time update, but that is hardly helpful.

Only available on Apple devices, so I’ll stick with Firefox.

So, do I get to use Web MIDI and upgrade firmware on my various devices in Safari now?

I’ve tried switching to Safari a few times, but I keep struggling with finding an ad-blocking extension that Just Works. Aside from that, I like it, but just a couple minutes on the ad-covered Web makes me need to go crawling back to Chrome. I set up uBlock Origin Lite years ago in Chrome and it’s functionally fully set-it-and-forget-it.

“Just use pi-hole” well sometimes I leave my house so that is an insufficient option.

I've used Safari since I switched to Mac in 2009. It's always been fast and smooth, and the integration - like password sync and SMS 2FA keys - works great.
