![]() ![]() Measuring browser speed is really tough because there's so many different factors. In fact Chrome is moving towards these stricter rules as well. This is simply because of the stricter rules. Now people complain about Safari extensions, like the Ad Blockers aren't as good as the ones on Chrome. To add them you could go to Safari, Safari Extensions which takes you to the Mac App Store. ![]() In Safari if you go to Preferences you could see your extensions here and you can activate them and turn them on. One of the reasons that Chrome can eat up a lot of battery life for some people is an extension that simply uses too much power. You may not expect this but also an energy. ![]() This is kind of a security and also a privacy issue. Whereas with Chrome and Firefox you can get extensions from anywhere. You have to add them through the Mac App Store which means they have to go through Apple and follow certain rules. But Safari is really restrictive on how to add extensions. You can add extensions to Safari and Chrome and Firefox. One thing that is usually counted as a plus for Chrome and a minus for Safari I'm going to count the other way. You could also customize the Tool Bar and add iCloud Tabs right up in there which is definitely something that I do normally so that I could easily access the tabs from one machine to another. It will also list other devices here if I had any on the same iCloud account and they had Safari Tabs open. But I could look and see on my MacBook Pro I've got two tabs open. So I can click here on Tabs and I could see what tabs I have open. This allows me to see the web pages I have open on my other devices. One feature I really love about Safari is something called iCloud Tabs. So you have these passwords then available on your iPhone, iPad, your other Macs. This syncs between all your Apple devices through iCloud. You could always go to Preferences and then Passwords to go get access to any of your passwords. It automatically prompts you when you create new passwords to store them. Safari also has a built-in Password Manager that makes it really nice to use. Chrome, of course, can't really get rid of this because getting rid of the ads is kind of counter to Goggle's business. Reader View allows you to get rid of all the extra content on the page, including ads, and go right to basically a really nice version of the article that you can read. Chrome only offers this through an extension but Safari and Firefox have this built-in.Īnother thing that Safari and Firefox have that Chrome doesn't is Reader View. These can be made available to read off-line as well. This syncs across all your different devices. You can quickly add articles to it and get to those articles later on. Reading List is a little set of Bookmarks on the left. Now one of the things Chrome is missing is something called the Reading List. But if you're concerned about privacy at all then you probably want to steer clear of Chrome and stick with Safari or Firefox. After all if you're going to see ads on a website anyway it might as well be ads that might pertain to you. So, of course, they want to track you as much as possible in order to get a higher price for their ads. Safari and Firefox are clear winners in privacy over Chrome. This leads me to my next item which is Privacy. But for Chrome you're going to have to log into your Goggle account. Now Firefox and Chrome could do this as well. So wherever you add bookmarks your bookmarks stay in sync. So as you add bookmarks to Safari on your Mac you'll see them on your iPhone, your iPad, your second Mac. Your Bookmarks will sync across all your different devices. Now since Safari is from Apple it works great across all your Apple devices. It just uses less power so your battery will last longer. Safari is the best browser for conserving energy. Most Mac users are using some sort of MacBook and if you're using a MacBook you're concerned about battery life. There's no reason to take up space on your drive with another app or download another app or learn another ecosystem like Goggle's for Chrome.Īnother reason to stick with Safari is if you're using a MacBook. ![]() For most users that's reason enough to make it your default browser. It's built into the operating system and it's definitely the most Mac-like of all of the browsers and you don't need to download anything extra. The first reason is because Safari is built for the Mac. But I prefer Safari and it's the main browser I use for regular web surfing. Now I have all three and I use all three.
