Speed is why I use Safari now. It feels like Chrome did compared to FF back in the day.
It’s painful using Chrome by comparison. If it wasn’t for Chromes better dev tools I doubt I’d use it much
- sznio 3y agoOnly reason Safari feels fast is that it has avoided implementing features. There's still stuff that's been present in Chrome/Firefox for 10 years, but still doesn't work in Safari. Does Google still show the old search results page design to Safari users? It did that for a long time.
- photonerd 3y agoFrankly, Safari works. If those features slow down the web then that’s a knock on those features. Plus I’ve yet to see a single one of these supposedly “missing” features actually matter in the real world.
- Version467 3y agoMay I recommend Orion? It's based on Safaris engine, but imo improves massively on its ui (for example it comes with a fantastic (opt-in) tree-style tab browser). But most importantly it supports chrome and firefox extensions. Most of them do just work out of the box.
- eitland 3y agoOrion is fantastic. I still use Firefox since it is cross browser but if I change to MacBook as my dev machine I might go all in on Orion as well.
- photonerd 3y agoNot gonna lie, a tree-style tab browser sounds like awful UI to me, but… I’m glad you like it. Supporting the insecure bloatware that is Chrome & FF extensions tho? Massive convenience factor, I get it, but… ewwww
