Don’t know why it is, but the weakness I have found with safari is with super resource intensive business-class websites. Sites that need to process a lot of dynamic data, display charts, etc. My guess is it is probably overly conservative in being efficient that it just can’t handle those type of sites well. I have to use chrome for business web apps.My Chrome Memory and Energy Saver Mode is to use Safari. It's also a privacy saver! As a web developer I have to use all of them at some point during the day, but Safari is my main and IDK why more people don't use it. It's great! I consistently have 300+ tabs open during the day across like 12 windows in different spaces across three monitors because I'm clearly insane, but it handles it fine. Safari is the multitasking GOAT. Eventually it starts going kinda weird if I get up over 400-500 tabs or let it go for a week without a restart, but it's more stable than any other browser I've tried under such conditions.
You're joking right?Yes, it's annoying. I'm just glad Brave exists so I can enjoy a browser that's compatible with everything on the web without all the astronomical spyware bloat.
That's funny. Microsoft Edge, Brave, and countless other browsers are based on Chromium, which is built by Google and also powers Chrome.Unfortunately, Chrome is becoming the Explorer of the 2020s. IT guys are pushing it hard and making chrome the only compatible browser. Safari exists because Microsoft created the same lock down of the net and then stopped supporting the Mac properly. Google did the same thing with Maps on the iPhone and Apple Maps was born.
Reasons I use Chrome and not Safari are:Why would you ever use Chrome and let yourself get data mined by Google?

For general consumer web browsing though. Safari is great.
No. I'm not even remotely joking. I know Brave and Edge use Chromium. I use Brave specifically because it is Chromium without all the Googleyness. The point of my post was that 90% of the internet uses Chrome or a Chromium-based browser, so pretty much most of the internet tries to make their content compatible with Chromium, and therefore it will most likely be compatible with Brave. When I tried Firefox, I found myself switching back to Brave half the time and I don't like jumping between browsers. With Brave I can stay in one browser and also not have to worry about Google's massive data mining. Brave isn't a crypto scam because all of that crypto stuff is turned off by default. It's only on if you choose to participate in the crypto ad program, which you get paid for participating in, so I think your idea of what a scam is doesn't apply here. There's nothing illegal about an opt-in ad program that makes the user money. Again, it's off by default. Brave is completely de-bloated of Google. It's a very fast and great browser. And yes, I know they had some shady behavior in the past that they've now rectified, but for that to have any weight whatsoever, you'd have to completely ignore the infinitely worse things Google and Microsoft have and are still doing. You can't champion other browsers that are far worse because Brave did something they apologized for and haven't done since. I also don't like Firefox (besides certain websites not working) because 99% of their funding comes from Google just so Google can keep an alternative browser engine in the market so they don't look like a monopoly.You're joking right?
First of all, Brave uses Chromium, which is maintained by Google. As a matter of fact, Edge is also using Chromium. This means if Chrome isn't compatible with something, neither will Brave. Brave is simply a reskinned Chome with a built in ad-blocker and good marketing. It's also a crypto scam. Brave also replaces ads on websites with their own ads. It should be illegal.
For cross-platform password syncing, I would highly recommend Bitwarden, which is free. I use it on Mac, Windows, and my iPhone and it works perfectly across all of them.Reasons I use Chrome and not Safari are:
- All synced, especially passwords, on Mac, Linux, iPhone, whatever I need.
- Safari's interface recently got much cleaner but it has often changed and introduced useless animations or graphics that just made the experience feel much slower to me every time I used it, compared to Chrome.
- Not sure if it's still that way but last time I tried to use Safari, it didn't show icons on the favourites bar!
- Chrome just used to be faster and feel faster, I got used to it and I feel slightly "trapped" into being used to it.
I also tried to switch to Firefox several times! It solves syncing problem but there are other similar deal-breakers I frankly do not remember. Periodically, I ask myself "Why am I not using Firefox?", switch for a few days, find some major problem, switch back, forget why I switched back. I'll probably try to switch again.
A “crypto scam”. Hang on, lemme spit my drink out. Why? Because they give their users completely free BAT which can be immediately converted into USD or used buy gift cards in exchange for engaging with far less irritating ads than your average shopping site has? Or is it because it’s set to automatically tip content creators proportional to the browsing time, potentially supporting independent authorship and less reliance on ads? Is it a scam when Bing does the same but in a 3x more annoying way and makes you answer obnoxious trivia questions? 🤣No. I'm not even remotely joking. I know Brave and Edge use Chromium.

Your clear hatred of Brave keeps you from seeing its benefits. On top of that, Web3 is around the corner and you will no longer be able to block ads properly in Google Chrome or Edge. Brave has and will continue to have built in ad blocking to circumvent this and it will be one of the only Chromium-based browsers that can effectively block ads. There will be garbage versions of things like uBlock Origin ... called uBlock Origin Lite ... which is trash compared to the original. Firefox and Brave will pretty much be the only effective browsers for ad blocking. Unless you use a DNS-based ad blocker such as the AdGuard app, which block ads at the desktop level, bypassing any Web3 nonsense.

Well not using chrome makes perfect sense but due to our university's lazy-ass IT guys I'm using chrome. Because everytime something goes wrong they'll be like "but did you used chrome, try using chrome" so I gave up.This is a fantastic combination. Sadly I have to use Windows at times. I have the iCloud for Windows installed, the latest version and I can keep both FireFox and Safari in sync for book marks. I use BitWarden so my passwords are in it and I do not let browsers keep copies of my passwords.
On a Mac it is Safari + Wipr always. If some page does not work....then FireFox and lastely if it needs a chromium browser I will use Edge. Chrome is dead to me and has been for 2-3 years now.
Oh god. Web3 is a rebrand of scam crypto projects. It'll never take off.On top of that, Web3 is around the corner and you will no longer be able to block ads properly in Google Chrome or Edge.
Edge will use all of Chrome extensions, you can even install them from the Chrome Store. You are simply trading Chromium with Google slathered all of the top of it for Chromium with Microsoft slathered all over the top of it. Edge also has syncing and profiles, you just do it with Microsoft accounts. I have 3, one personal account and two corporate accounts, one for my every day user and one for my Azure/O365 admin. Each use different themes, and have their own set of favorites and extensions.For all the people saying use Firefox/safari/edge, I didn’t fully try them, but for the 1-2h I tried, I could not find all my extensions. (Mostly for SEO and for web analytics).
I’m using around 15-20 extensions.
Do you have a workaround? Or a way to use chrome extension elsewhere?
And is there equivalent to the chrome account? I work with 3 differents company and I have a google account for each of them so it’s nice to just quickly open a new chrome windows with bookmark and extension for each.
PS: I always have 10+ tabs but no speed problem with chrome. (M1/16).
Yeah I do not get the love for Brave. It just way too much junk in it. The Crypto stuff, their points system or whatever the heck it is....it is the king of bloat.You're joking right?

Glad, Google pushed this update out. Desperately needed. Google Chrome has been using too much RAM. Now, we need it for iOS devices too, please.
Check out Orion Browser, all the benefits of Safari while being able to run Chrome/Edge/Firefox/Chromium extensions. And that includes support for the native macOS password manager.It’s sad but no browser vendor will ever implement this. They all want to trap you into their own password managers.
