I've been using Safari since Yosemite, before I was using firefox since 2010 or so (back from Chrome). I love what Firefox means, but I don't love that they receive a shitload amount of money from Google and that constraints them a lot from their true mission. Just go to about:config and search 'google', there are several settings that use google by default to send information. I understand that they need the money, but the state of affairs is a bit sad.
I pick Safari because now it's fast, memory and _battery_ efficient (I think it's the most battery efficient browser that I've used on the Mac). Apple seems very wary about defending it's users privacy, and it's actually in their best business interests to do so. They have the money and weight to actually put a decent fight on the subject.
That's why I use Safari.
PS: I do use Thunderbird for my e-mail needs though ;)
- slasaus 12y agoAbout the deal with Google, that bothered me as well, fortunately it has expired last year and has not been renewed. Instead a deal with a lot more companies has been made, based on which part in the world you live in. For the US Mozilla has made a five-year partnership with Yahoo, part of that deal is that Yahoo respects the Do-Not-Track preference of Firefox clients.
