Safari is in second place behind Chrome and has 15% of the browser market share globally and 25% in the USA. Yeah, people use Safari.

But that’s because of iPhone. Macs are a tiny percent of devices globally.

It’s one of the few browsers that’s not powered by Chrome, so yeah.

Modern Chrome and Safari used to share the same open source engine until it was forked. They’re not that different from each other

But Google has no influence over WebKit/Safari

They’ve been diverged for nearly 10 years, and their features and compatibility vary significantly at this point.

Yes, they share the same WebKit roots, but Safari isn’t likely to make it impossible to block ads any time soon. That’s difference enough.

Safari is great. Quick Look, syncing tab groups, good touchpad navigation, non janky UI and probably more are my reasons for using it. I just wish it was possible to have shared bookmarks with Firefox which I use on Linux (or have an actual Linux port of it even but that’s even less going to happen)

Safari power usage on mac is incredibly low compared to Firefox and other browsers. If you’re on battery while on Mac hardware I highly recommend using Safari

@grimace1153 @fer0n yes. It’s the best browser for Mac. Efficient, easy to use, and not controlled by Google (It’s easy to change the search engine). Also, synced with others devices via iCloud with no effort.
