>> Nobody really uses Safari except for on iPhones
Have you got _anything_ to back this up? I’m willing to bet the majority of Mac users use Safari (given it’s the default browser). I use it and it’s a lot less clunky than Chrome and Firefox. I also repeatedly run into an attitude of “if my users don’t user Chrome then I don’t care about their experience” and find it very off putting.
- MintelIE 6y agoI bet they don't. All the Mac Safari users I know also run Firefox because Safari's ad blocking sucks. I only know of a few Mac users of Chrome.
- jeromegv 6y ago2020 and people still rely on random anecdotes heavily influenced by their techie friends instead of actually looking at the data. Fascinating.
- MintelIE 6y agoWhat data? Show me the data.

USA desktop browsers, May 2020: - Chrome: 58.97% - Safari: 15.65% - Firefox: 8.24% Doesn't have much in common with your anecdote except that it's in the reverse order of popularity that you seemed to claim.
- morvita 6y agoIt's a bit outdated now, but back in May 2017 Gruber reported [0] that 69% of visitors to his site used Safari. This was about 6 months before the release of Firefox Quantum, so I'd be curious to see more recent numbers if the Firefox usage has changed at all. > Looking at my web stats, over the last 30 days, 69 percent of Mac users visiting DF used Safari, but a sizable 28 percent used Chrome. (Firefox came in at 3 percent, and everything else was under 1 percent.)
