I thought I had to install Google Chrome to use facebook on my MacBook Pro version 10.12.1 and downloaded DuckDuckGo, I want to know is Safari the best browser and should I remove DuckDuckGo? If so, how do I remove it?
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), iOS 10.1
DuckDuckGo is a search engine, not a browser.
The best browser is one that meets your specific needs, Chrome seems to be a memory hog.
Also, ti depends on what integrations you want with other devices/ecosystems.
Safari is the native browser that comes with your macOS. You are welcome to use any of a number of other browsers if you choose - Chrome, Firefox, whatever. It just comes down to which browser you like best.
Facebook works perfectly in Safari.
I concur with reply posted by Illaass. Besides Chrome being a pig for computer resources, it also mines your personal data for the profit of Google. For those reason I don't even have it installed on my Macs. If I were you I would check out both Safari and FireFox to find out which of them meets your needs.
If you have a stock MBP with 4gb. of ram and a 500gb. rotational hard-drive then I would use Safari.
Google chrome utilizes allot of memory for each tab you open.
To improve web browser performance disable "syncing" features in setting.
Syncing of bookmark and files can slow down your MBP.
Disable syncing features in iCloud settings and Google Chrome settings.
whats the best Browser?
