Safari is often treated harshly, especially by developers working on websites. I also can’t recall if anyone ever said or wrote that he likes it as a user.

I personally am using it on all my devices and I enjoy it simplicity. I dislike the fact that there are very few good extensions for it, but I’m not sure if that’s a problem from developers or from Apple.

So, my question today is: what do you like or hate about Safari, that either made you use it or uninstall?

    I love the UI however there are several dealbreakers:

    • cannot add other search engines besides the default ones (I use none of them)

    • extensions framework is terrible, almost non existent ecosystem; they frequently stop working a after new safari changes

    • only bearable with a good system wide ad blocker like AdGuard, which costs money

    If these issues would be addressed, it would be perfect browser for me

      I only recently heard about Orion. Is is that good? How the Mac app compares to Arc if you know? cause Arc is the other trending browser on MacOS that I heard and tried.

    Apple forces me to like it on iOS… happy when I (supposedly) can use Firefox later this year.
