It's too bad making a decent web browser is such a massive undertaking so there aren't literally thousands of alternatives to choose from. :/

And they're all chromium under the hood. The illusion of free choice.

As it stands today Mozilla is the only thing keeping google from being labeled a browser monopoly, but man can Mozilla let go of the footgun for once.

Ah Safari, the IE8.5 of modern browsers...

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The "best" argument I've heard recently for that heap of shit? The extensions have the best UI integration! Lol

People do so much bending over backwards to excuse every shitty thing apple does.

Safari is more energy efficient on macOS compared to other browsers.

But like it or not the (artificial) hold Safari has over the iOS/iPadOS ecosystem is the only thing stopping a complete Google hegemony over the web browser market.

Mozilla is circling the drain and the few nascent new browser projects are years away from technical maturity and may never establish any meaningful market share anyway.

Lol so I should appreciate that apple is preventing browser choice because they chose not to use chromium for the only option they provide?

Fuck Apple. This situation is on them. Preventing other browsers should have triggered governments to rip them apart for monopolistic practices. I cannot say "fuck apple" enough.

Mozilla is not "circling the drain". Firefox is great, haters can hate all they want.

Yep definitely. I can open 100+ safari tabs but my shitty old laptop will crash if I have 20 on chrome or firefox or brave

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world -5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Having more than 20 tabs open is a bad idea. And yeah it's going to be a faster browser when you deeply tied it into the OS you also built. Doesn't make it better in the least.

Never said it was a good idea or that safari is better

The nicest thing I can say about it is at least they killed Flash.

As a web dev, screw safari. Apple just randomly decides to not follow web standards some time so I spend tons of time debugging random safari issues that I CANT EVEN TEST MYSELF because I don't pay for apple products
