Probably because they use unexposed, undocumented APIs, but non-hardware accelerated CSS animations that trigger repaints (width, top, etc) in Safari are much, much smoother than in Chrome and FF. They look almost as good as accelerated animations.
Unfortunately I can't really commit to using Safari on desktop because they don't have good ad blocking extensions (please correct me if I'm wrong). Really like FF for this.
But I really appreciate how Apple is committed to improving and highlighting Safari. After totalitarian regimes, browser engine monoculture is the greatest threat to Internet freedom I can think of.
- wdb 6y agoI thought 1Blocker is quite a reasonable ad blocker for Safari: https://1blocker.com https://1blocker.com
- brundolf 6y agoThey have AdblockPlus, which is what I use on Chrome anyway
- thiht 6y agoI settled on AdGuard. It has a pretty good UI and works fairly well. I don't know if it's as good as uBlock Origin, but it feels like it.
