  apple's long defended their anti-choice stance under the pretense that they have the best, fastest, lowest resource usage browser. it's long been a tiring, self-aggrandizing, & dominionist perspective- of fantastically limited consideration given how constrained & limited the platform support Safari opts for. now that even that braggadocio is crumbling, i'm wondering what's left for Apple's pompous claims about rejecting alternatives. i confess, i don't think it matters a lot for most users how fast the system is. safari, chrome, whatever, they're close. but it's still pretty revolting that apple insists on their own reality distortion field, that they cannot engage in a healthy & honest discussion about how and why they block off choice.

    > i don't think it matters a lot for most users how fast the system is This is why we had months of people raving about M1, of course.

      techies arent people. :p i kid... but there is a vocal group which doesn't necessarily reflect the common experience. i joke. but also, i think where we're hearing these reports from are only semi-important. even with far far far far far superior hardware- 200/400GBps memory- a vast gain- plus other architectural wins- my temptation would still be to call this an incremental (but sizable) win, not revolutionary.
