Has the New Safari FINALLY Beat Chrome? Safari vs. Chrome

Has the new Safari in macOS Sonoma finally beat Chrome? I decided to give the new features like Profiles and Web Apps a try to see if I would make the switch in this Safari vs. Chrome battle.

Lack of Extension is the only thing stoppping me from switching to SAFARI completely. Tackle this issue and I would love to use safari.

Meanwhile, I am that weird Mac user who is deeply integrated in the Apple ecosystem.... and I use Microsoft Edge.

This is an excellent, unbiased review. The Ecosystem and privacy features make Safari my day to day choice.

I love safari Ui. It’s clean and simple. I wish other browsers copied the Ui. Especially the iOS version

[tipoomaster]

I'm guessing Chrome feels faster becuase it's predicting what you're typing and prefetching that page more aggressively and spending power doing that, while what Apple is talking about is loaded post network engine speed

[georgeemerald]

Safari is also way more efficient on Apple devices.

On the subject of Safari's optimization, I think it's often mininterpreted in the current market to only mean speed above everything else. When compared to Chrome, at least in my experience, far less memory and power are used for visually identical if not nearly identical speed. Seems similar to Edge Chromium on Windows, which still can seem less fast than Chrome at times but is far superior in resource management.

Damn that's crazy, I use the compact view on Safari 😭

[luaa.]

You should give Orion a try. It's made with Safari's webkit but supports chrome and firefox extensions!

[LyleSpringer]

Safari is so enticing with the Apple Ecosystem, but I am currently really enjoying Brave. The only major bug that I have found is that sometimes Brave just stops displaying the page and I need to restart the browser.

Sorry im web3 developer and Safari is not really an option right now

[SupaFly]

Is there a way to export chrome to safari, ON IPHONE?? (No pc pls)

[ouddemrijttariq]

safari desktop version is my worst nightmare, i really like the ui of safari but i'm facing a lot of problems since macOS monterey i give a chance of one week but maaan i suffer from the slow experience it takes more time to load youtube video and pages compared to chrome don't know why exactly that happens for 3 major updates of masOS without getting a fix but now after sonoma ans safari 17 i leave it again wishing they can fix it in the near future

Since I use Safari...I won´t come to Chrome my privacy has importance

[zakkincaid]

Safari is my browser of choice, but I never use it on my Mac, solely because of the lack of extensions

[Chikowski]

bro it's time to accept the fact, "there's no place like chrome "

6:34 did he just call webkit proprietary? lol. also as far as I know google's blink engine is a fork of webkit. both are open source

[thetafritz]

should I use both? like I have multiple screens, I could just use both

[knfeesports]

I am on windows but I really like how optimised it is and how smooth it feels to use it.

One thing that bugs me about Safari is how the search bar errors out like a third of the things I search. For example If I accidentally throw a period in the search, it'll think it's a URL and fail, instead of it being a Google search. If I try to search some long query, it'll also fail for no reason. Safari on mobile doesn't even do that, just desktop.

Our "recently uploaded" at 0:13 looks VERY similar. Are you, me? 😂
