Safari is a sad joke at this point. Lots of page rendering issues. Zero customization or themes, NO profile support, horrible bookmark management, series lack of extension support.

100% this. Chrome on my Mac’s destroyes all other browsers in terms of performance and website compatibility. Sync is faster and the interface is simple and clean.
I need and use Multiple profiles, 3. Two for work and a personal. Theming each profile helps me distinguish them quickly.
Edge was good for a while but Microsoft bloated the foooook out of it and keeps doing so. Coupons, side bar, BING jammed in your face all the time (new tabs) resetting your defaults with new versions.
Brave is just odd to me in so many ways. Like some kind of pyramid scheme browser/cult browser of choice.
Chrome with UBlock Origin and Bit Warden is all I need.
Can Chrome access Keychain so my passwords stay synced between my Mac/iDevice browsers and apps?
So they basically implemented or supported the timer coalescing that Apple introduced into Mavericks back in.... 2013.***
Not bad google, only one decade. Wonder why heaps of apple users think chrome is hot garbage?

Imagine how many commercials one will have to watch in 18 hours 😵💫
The latest version of the Google Chrome browser designed for Macs includes optimizations that are designed to preserve battery life. In a blog post shared today, Google says that with a single full charge, a 13-inch M2 MacBook Pro running Chrome can be used to browse the internet for 17 hours or watch YouTube for 18 hours.
With improvements to Energy Saver mode, browsing time is extended for another 30 minutes by reducing unnecessary background tasks, and while Google uses the M2 MacBook Pro as an example, the company says that those using older Macs will also see performance gains.
To boost battery life, Google made changes that include tuning iframes to consume less energy, tweaking JavaScript timers to wake the CPU less often, streamlining data structures to optimize access, and eliminating unnecessary redraws.
Google plans to continue to optimize Energy Saver mode in the future. The Chrome browser for Macs can be downloaded from Google's website, with the 110 version released last week.

Well, yeah, for pages that are custom written for Chrome.
Chrome is the new IE!
While this may not be related to this thread, my response to that video is - I've had a handful of people ask me why their devices are charging slower after watching this video.
The only way this is activated is if Optimized Charging is activated - which ... usually is only run when you have your phone plugged in all night long and Apple learns your charging habits over many weeks. So, most people will NOT notice this and for most people, Green Charging will charge when optimize charging charges right before someone wakes up (early morning).
So .... no, this isn't going to make your phone charge slower. It delays charging ONLY when optimized charging is active and it is advantageous to charge later (which optimized charging did already ... for most people anyway).
Use Clean Energy Charging on your iPhone - Apple Support
With iOS 16.1, your iPhone can try to reduce your carbon footprint by selectively charging when lower carbon-emission electricity is available.
Quoted from Apple's webpage linked above: "Clean Energy Charging works together with Optimized Battery Charging to learn your charging habits. Clean Energy Charging engages only where you spend the most time and regularly charge your iPhone for long periods of time, such as your home and place of work. The feature doesn't engage if your charging habits are variable or you're in a new location, such as when you travel."
Yep, and it only activates when optimized charging is being utilized according to Apple's own website. So anyone who isn't already using optimized charging will never see this.
Sponsors I don't mind b/c I can easily manually skip through those. As for ads...
What platforms does it work on? I view YouTube on Windows, Android, and my Chromebook. If we want to be comprehensive, I've also viewed YouTube on my iPad, and (Nintendo) Switch.
Does Sponsorblock work without administrative privileges? (something I lack on my work computer).
... YouTube Premium's ad-free covers all of those platforms.
In an unexpected twist, I know some people who got YouTube Premium not for that, but actually for YouTube Music! :O
Did you actually read what I wrote? Chrome power consumption vs safari vs firefox. The article is about how long a battery charge lasts while using chrome, which is more or less inversely proportional to the power consumption.
Great add another reason why I hate those ugly ass memojis with a burning passion and want them and all the accounts that use them as profile pics destroyed
