Safari performance vs Chrome

Never once had a problem with Safari not able to access a website and use it on many financial websites including Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Robinhood, and Charles Schwab. Some sites may require you to allow Pop-Up Windows, which is off by default. You will also find that Safari is much more secure than Chrome and consumes dramatically less resources. Safari turns off Cross-Site tracking and hides your IP address from trackers by default. You will find some websites that want to track you do not like this default behavior, but do you really want to be tracked. If so you can shut off these safety measures.

Just for fun, check the Trackers that Safari has blocked. Currently on mine I see:

• Google - doubleclick.net blocked 122 times
• Google - google.com blocked 113 times
• Google - googletagmanafer.com blocked 103 times
• Google - google-analytics.com blocked 87 times
• Google - googlesyndication.com blocked 62 times
• Google - 2mdn.net blocked 49 times
• Google - googleadservices.com blocked 43 times
• Google - googletagservices.com blocked 40 times

The choice is yours. Do you really think that Chrome is going to stop tracking from its own company?

John, your answer doesn't make any sense. Mac means a whole ecosystem with some better and worse apps. Henrik is correct that some websites are not handled well by Safari. Is this Safari's or developer's fault? I'd say both. Safari is not perfect, but web developers could do a better job to handle it. I suppose many web development teams don't use Mac to test their websites in Safari. I personally use Safari to save battery, but I'm not even sure if that's still the case in 2024. Web tools are much better in Chrome. JavaScript and CSS support is much better in Chrome too, but it's not that bad in Safari these days.

Do you have a question for your fellow Mac users?

If you are required to use Google products, including Google Chrome, then buy a Chromebook. No one needs Chrome. Installing Google on a Mac obviates most of the justification for having one.

If Henrik has a question he can ask, and you need to educate yourself regarding Chrome. My answer stands.

I am happy for you 🙂

Fascinating.

WebKit Documentation

What Apple and Safari needs is to do a better job. Problem is Safari don't follow the normal or global way browsers should operate. They do their stuff differently and worst part is they are not consistent with it. Even website owners can't keep up cause the browser and it support tools are not documented

I'm a web developer, so I know quite well about the strengths and weaknesses of web browsers 🙂

Ever browser is going to be different from Safari, to Chrome to Brave to Firefox to Opera. They all have their strength and weaknesses.
