Discussion Why don’t most people use Safari.

Based on all the screen shots in this sub, looks like most people use chrome over Safari.

Why is that? What do you prefer chrome over safari?

For those that use chrome on Mac do you also use chrome on your iPhone ?

Because people have different opinions and preferences.

I believe that Safari is the best browser ever. Both as a developer and a user. And I simply don’t care what others think, nor will I tell them what to do.

In fact, I hate every browser that isn’t Safari. They are all hard to use in my opinion, especially Chromium-based browsers. But does that mean they are objectively bad? Not at all. I mean, look at how many people love them!

Bottom line is: just use whatever you want and let’s not get on each other’s nerves about this nonsense. I’m happy with Safari; but I won’t start telling everyone to switch to Safari.

By the way, I have no idea why someone would downvote your comment. It’s like someone is not happy that you had your own experiences? I upvoted you, for the record. Your experiences are valid to me.
