Safari FUD tires me more than any other because it's so consistent and yet consistently wrong (usually driven by feelings from ~2+ years ago). Here's both, no plugins, latest versions: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/12100/158299113-a0665fcf-4676-4298-b98b-87d77e213e71.png https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/12100/158299113-a0... Chrome opens and closes slower, resizes slower, opens tabs slower, closes tabs slower, restores a closed tab slower, goes back/forward slower, stutters as it scrolls... and feels non-native in so many ways. Not to mention the constant addition of bloat and privacy invasive features. Safari is nearly an order of magnitude better IMO on a Mac, it's not even close.

It's definitely down in a large part to plug-ins. Things like Dark Reader I can understand, but I have no idea why 1Password would cause a 30% performance drop on a site that I don't even have a PW for. My point still stands about going back a page and arrowing up/down the URL bar to select something and having it swap at the last second. Those behaviours are peculiar to Safari and they're really inexplicable from a user perspective. Whether it's related or not, the mobile version of Safari is even worse - going back a page refreshes 95% of the time, when it shouldn't given the amount of RAM iPhones have had for the past 5+ years. The Chromium stuttering on M1 Macs is definitely a problem and I wish Google would get to fixing it.
