- wiseowise 2y agoWhy would you use either of those when there’s Firefox?
- heraldgeezer 2y agoPeople use it for the google account integration. Logged in to all services, all history/bookmarks/tabs/passwords syncs over.
- relaxing 2y agoI guess that makes sense. Safari iCloud integration is super convenient for syncing everything to my phone etc.
- geor9e 2y agohistory/bookmarks/tabs/passwords is easily synced via Safari > File > Import From > Google Chrome/Firefox and safari can log into google accounts just as easily as chrome can.
- heraldgeezer 2y agoYes, but normies won't do that. You don't even need to export, the new browser can usually import with the starting wizard.
- geor9e 2y agoMy question is why use Safari, other than it being preinstalled? It feels barebones. There must be some reason most Mac users are go out of their way to avoid Safari. ~70% of Mac users use chrome or chromium browsers, versus only 19% who use safari, and 3% who still use firefox [I searched "mac browser market share" and clicked the first link]. My guess is it's the lack of good extensions. People spend a lot of time in the browser, so lack of customizability is frustrating.
- olowe 2y agoBecause it’s barebones. Most of the time I’m on my Mac I use “regular” apps; I never really used web apps much (on my Mac nor on my OpenBSD/linux machines)
