@Migueldeicaza I switched to Safari with the first Retina MacBook Pro (2012?) since Chrome was so laggy with the high res screen. Tried to go back a year later and it was still noticeably laggy. Never bothered since. I do have to use chrome occasionally to test/fix compatibility for stuff I make for work.

@Migueldeicaza the one time I’ve appreciated Google’s “just ship everything” sort of attitude was when I ran across a site that used WebUSB to talk to a microcontroller plugged into my machine. that’s cool. but the tradeoff is sketchy fuckers like LinkedIn being able to do stuff like this. not worth it. Safari forever.

@Migueldeicaza Safari with tab groups are my daily driver and it works a treat.

@Migueldeicaza I encounter maybe one broken site a year, and in that case I try Firefox first. Most of the time though, a site breaks because Pihole stopped some shitty JS from running and the site couldn’t handle it properly.

@Migueldeicaza I only ever need it for things that need low level USB access to load firmware. And it makes me feel dirty to use it for even that but I do.

@Migueldeicaza I’m a web dev and last week was the first time in more than 5 years that I needed chrome… to fix a bug that only occurred in chrome. Otherwise I use primarily use safari. Any time safari hasn’t worked for a web site… firefox has. Tho, I don’t use most sites “normal” people do… like google or youtube or any other properties from companies that have primary income from advertising. (meta)

@Migueldeicaza I've never used Chrome - even after being badgered to do so. I never quite uninstalled it off anyones computer but I came close.

@Migueldeicaza Never used Chrome except to interact with Google Drive until a house utility website started acting funny on Safari & only Chrome would fix it. Luckily the website was fixed a month later & now works on Safari again 🙂
