I don't think that users "mostly" agree. Safari's market share on macOS craters compared to Chrome: https://radar.cloudflare.com/reports/browser-market-share-2025-q1#id-7-market-share-by-os https://radar.cloudflare.com/reports/browser-market-share-20...
Google propaganda or not, Mac owners aren't sticking with this "superior" preeinstalled browser tech. And I get it, as a Linux user I find WebKit intolerable compared with Blink and even Gecko.
- Terretta 1y ago> Mac owners aren't sticking with preinstall... Installing Chrome on MacOS is a cargo cult thing. Devs tell everyone to install Chrome, and everyone tells everyone else to install Chrome. (Except some devs who tell some friends to install Firefox.) Zero devs say install Safari, it's already there. And there's no hip narrative for just using what's there even though it saves energy, protects privacy, seamlessly works across devices, and more. Safari's problem: it doesn't signal tech savvy (Chrome) or anti-establishment (Firefox).
