A lot of #Mac owners use #GoogleChrome as their web browser, and personally, I don’t get it. Apple markets its products as privacy-forward and seamlessly integrated with each other. The web browser is an essential component of your computer - you have a lot to gain by using Apple’s own. Here’s my attempt to sway it the other way - the top five reasons I use #Safari instead of Google Chrome.

When I switched from linux to macOS a few years ago I made a point to stick with the stock apps as much as possible and am glad I did. At first, Safari was a problem since the majority of ad blockers available for it are terrible at blocking ads at best, and I suspect nefarious at worst. Wipr is the only one that works well (including blocking RUclips ads....sorry!). That said, for work I use MS Edge browser. Microsoft web apps, which is what my employer uses, as well as lots of other SaaS apps, do not work well with Safari or non-chrome browsers. But for regular browsing - Safari all day. Only problem I find with it is that my credit union uses a 3rd party d bill pay service, so I have to temporarily disable cross-site tracking to get that frame to load. Minor inconvenience. Honestly, I don't understand why people would buy mac hardware just to install Chrome/Firefox, Microsoft Office, etc. on it. While Apple hardware is clearly better than anything else out there for the price, if I wanted to run non-Apple software primarily then I'd just go back to linux and use commodity hardware.
I switch to Apple ecosystem and I can say that Safari is by far better than Chrome.
The big appeal to using a non-safari web browser on a Mac would probably be cross compatibility. If you’re switching between windows, Linux, and macOS occasionally it helps to have a cross platform browser like Firefox. It allows for syncing of passwords and bookmarks. If you’re only using macOS and an iPhone, I could see a desire to use Safari.
Great Video , very useful thanks.
Learned something. Thanks
I've changed my mind several times over the many years I've used a Mac as to which is the best browser, and I've come to the same conclusion as you present in this video. But you highlighted some additional benefits of Safari that I hadn't thought about. So thanks!
I love safari
I have just returned to using a Mac. I am very invested in Chrome and I am having issues with finding extensions for Safari that are in my Chrome. Plus I run an Android phone so syncing is paramount to my productivity. Would love to see a Chrome user changeover video. Thanks for this information.
The amount of features and ease of use of Chrome way surpasses Safari
I hate chrome, it’s a memory hog
My favorite feature of Chrome is the hype that it is the best browser.
I use a combination of Edge and Safari.
I use anything but safari. It seams like if your MACOS is more than 2 years old i get messages that my browser is out of date please upgrade. Which means i have to stop an upgrade the whole OS. Nope… i may be exaggerating a little but you get the point.
I have been using Safari for ages on iPad but suddenly it will not support outlook so I will have to change.
I am waiting for Vivaldi browser on iOS 😊

What about extensions..Safari is too limited in extensions
It's very personal, but do we really need that much extensions? Aside from Ad Blockers and tools against trackers, we probably load our browsers with too much useless extensions.
@@casquefer of course we need extensions when you understand how wonderful and productive some of the extensions really are
@@kafeelzargar as I said, it’s very personal. I review those installed on my browser quite regularly, and most often than not I end up removing them. I kept very few I deem necessary. But to each his own.
I only use Safari on Mac. Edge on Windows. Occasionally Firefox on Windows. Chrome isn’t the be all end all anymore that it was years ago for Windows.
Edge got a lot better then it used to be but imo still doesn’t touch chrome for windows. I used it for a week and was initially impressed from the improvements as it used to be terrible but I ended up going back to chrome.
I'm not a tech person at all. When I open Safari, which search engine do I use?
Google is still the default search engine in Safari.
@@cultofmac I was messing around with the settings and I did notice that. I was using Edge. It does run better on Mac compared to windows machines imo. Overall, Safari is much better. It runs so much smoother and not as glitchy. I’m still learning how to use it though. The thing I hate the most is when I open up Safari it doesn’t fill the whole screen. I have to keep pressing the green dot to expand it, it’s annoying as hell. Hopefully one day the Apple guys will give safari a more modern look.
Thanks for video.
I've never understood point about Safari 'lean' memory consumption.
1) Don't know why, but actually it is significant! Each tab (especially 'heavy' like RUclips) eats ~ 1gig of RAM while Chrome about 200 mibs.
2) Cache! Even when i've turned it off in developer mode, cache on each tab is enormous. And only one way to clean it - explicitly click cmd+opt+E.
Maybe only youtube is more efficient on Chrome. I've now tried with Netflix for example and it's better using Safari.
@@robertodimolfetta5505 it probably depends on with website it is. But netflix uses a lot of memory because drm adds to it and the higher quality.
What about Brave, Duck Duck Go, etc for privacy concerns?
I read a study that safari is very private like brave. Makes sense with it being an apple product
No one actually gives a damn about your privacy. That's their marketing words to make you use their browser
Despite passing Apple ID security, Apple have no solution for restoring the password for their network diagnostics. I purchased alot of expensive equipment from them that I never got to use. Gr8 video though and obviously a wonderful product if you can get past the security!
I use Safari often, the only thing that keeps it making it my main browser are valid extensions. Its just better with chrome.
I still use Safari for mild tasks.
Safari is better than Chrome I take care about my privacy and Google is terrible when it comes to this
I second you, most of the task can be done with Safari. I am trying to switch as well, however, Arc seems to be little too good. Nevertheless, its still Google beneath everything.@@nicolasb.henry294
Safari won't open "sponsored sites" and became terribly inconvenient to use so I use Google and my searches are not constantly interrupted
2:50 😂😂😂😂 the build-up to this point meanwhile Google 😂😂😂
I use Safari with private relay turned on. I can’t believe how many people use Chrome. I was at IU IT the other day, and the tech said “I recommend you use chrome” I replied “I don’t want spyware on my computer” it’s so streamlined everyone uses it. But very intrusive a zoom hyperlink kept loading on my Mac launchpad until I deleted the Chrome browser.
As a web developer I can just say: PLEASE use Chrome! The amount of stupid Safari bugs I have to fix every day is insane. OR if you're using Safari please don't be suprised when websites don't work as expected
I use Safari on my iPad and iMac as much as possible. But every now and then I come across a web site that simply doesn’t work well with Safari. Not sure if this is nonstandard stuff being used by the web site that Chrome happens to support or something else, but I have Chrome on all of my Apple devices as I need it now and then. I try to avoid all things Google, but sometimes that isn’t possible.
''I try avoid everything google'' and u commented on youtube
@@Dawit3 He/she implemented this word: "try" and continued with "but sometimes that isn't possible"
Unfortunately the Safari's UI is dated and unusable, and extension support pitiful.
I wish I could use Safari since I like its look so much more than Chrome's. Unfortunately, a third-party Chrome is better optimized for MacOS than Apple's own browser. I'll repeat this unbelievable statement. Chrome is better optimized for Mac (!). I witnessed multiple times Safari failing to recognize MacOS's own text replacement templates while on Chome (on the very same websites) they work 100% of the time. It's ridiculous. And if you leave some tabs open for a while on Safari, in about 30-40 minutes they start bloating the RAM, memory pressure becomes yellow, then red, then it's time to reboot. :) Chrome keeps tabs consuming as little memory as a website's content allows and the memory pressure never leaves the green zone.
what we learned: it is designed for macos/ios and that it uses iCloud
And so fast i have to disagree. A really important feature for me is the adblock-opportunity. RUclips can detect adblockers now, but Total-Adblock for Chrome just doesn't get detected
Vinegar, a Safari extension for iPhone and Mac, does the same. And it enables picture-in-picture and background play
Ye.. until mega and some other services says “download another browser” aaaa if only safari didnt sucked in compatibility it would be great aaaa
If you have ram issues just use brave or firefox :/ if you want reliability use chrome
(On macos ofc, on mobile every browser is just a fork of safari…)
Safari is a lot faster and I like it more than chrome but I have a windows PC as well so I cant replace it entirely
IF ONLY SAFARI allows to import bookmark from chrome ON IPHONE, then i guess il staying with chrome
Safari ftw
safari in browser gaming laggs hart in fps compared to chrome or opera firefox
Can I transfer bookmarks from chrome to safari?
My mac won't run Sonoma, so this post is inutile for me.
Safari is my default.....except for watching RUclips. My Safari is horrible on RUclips
🤚👍❤️🙏
Been using safari for years, it’s been wonderful. Chrome is a nightmare, I don’t even know where to start. Just basics guys, remember where pinned tabs should be…..pinned!!!!! And I’m not insane enough to use the mother of tracking browsers. No biometric support…no tabbed groups, the list goes on.
Safari sucks at filling out forms, where Chrome really shines.
Old comment but I’ve always wondered: how has safari not mastered filling out my email or credit card information. Ridiculous I still have to type that all in.
@@TomAZ1984Exactly.
Agree
Nonsense, is exactly the opposite, chrome is faster. Thats the fact.
Safari sucks. Constantly lagging
bro, what mac do u have?
