I ran Chrome for years and then recently switched to Safari. To the best of my knowledge, my behaviour has not changed. I wasn’t too into extensions in Chrome nor am I now under Safari. I can unequivocally say that my entire system feels significantly faster since making the switch. Battery life is far better too.
Just my own n=1 anecdata.
- midrus 6y agoSame experience here. I like chrome for all the features it has and I'm totally dependent on the devtools for work. But certainly safari feels a lot faster and more lightweight. Also, the speedometer 2 (just discovered it a few days go, so not sure how reliable is this) shields a lot better results when using safari. https://browserbench.org/Speedometer2.0/ https://browserbench.org/Speedometer2.0/
- ksec 6y agoSafari has always been more efficient than Chrome and less resource hungry in the past. But the in the past 6 months ( with works that has been ongoing for a lot longer ) Chrome is now similar to Safari on Mac. And a little faster. That is both Chrome working and Safari gotten slower with Safari 13.x and 14.0 That is only on x86 though. It seems Apple is now running optimisation only on M1. Safari on M1 is still faster than Chrome.
