At which cost? Huge RAM footprint, deadly battery killer, slow start time.
How often do you need heavy performance for web apps versus just browsing?

- hu3 9mo ago> In my 3-hour tests, Safari consumed 18.67% of my battery each time on average, and Chrome averaged 17.33% battery drain. That works out to about 9% less battery drain from Chrome than Safari. Yes, you read that right, I found Chrome was easier on my battery than Safari. With how much engineering was poured over V8, I don't doubt.
- seec 9mo agoYep, it's just the reality distortion field. Apple fanboys can never admit they don't have the best stuff. In similar veins, they'll say that Windows uses more RAM than macOS. Yet on both an iMac that was bootcamped and a custom-built hackintosh, macOS almost always used more RAM after booting. Apple makes great hardware but the software is often very mid, its only visually pleasing.
- concinds 9mo agoSafari has used way more RAM than Chrome for a decade. It uses more battery in some tests. It starts way slower, Chrome is one bounce and usable immediately, Safari is 2-3 bounces and 3-4 seconds before it starts accepting input.
