Safari is a web browser developed by Apple, available with the company's operating system, and is presented as the best and most efficient way to browse the web on an Apple device.
Safari is better integrated into our tech stack than Chrome. That said, Chrome has better dev features and how a wider selection of 3rd party extensions.
Given that I don't like the way Google tracks its customers and uses data about them for advertising, often not even offering users the option to protect their browsing history, I prefer Apple's Safari, on which advertising is far less intrusive. Both are good for searching the …
I think Chrome works great and can honestly do more, but my sense is that Safari is more private. I have no idea if that is actually true. Brave I used for a long time, but it was hard to sync and was so niche that it had constant issues where sites or programs would not run …
Google Chrome is more of a standard for developers so we find input forms or process sites often won't work because they are not optimised for Safari. We have to switch. We found the next tier browsers like Firefox don't fit well to our ecosystem and don't even have them on …
As noted, Safari is good for accessing email, logging in to our company portal, looking up information, searching for products, and finding videos. One area where Safari is not always up to scratch, though, is that there are a number of websites that run better on Google Chrome than Safari, or that simply do not run at all on Safari.

Lack of plugins, or plugins that don't seem to work well
I hate how Safari displays browser history without timestamps - I need those for tracking my time on timesheets
It can be frustrating when I have a pinned tab and I open a new tab and try to go to the same site from my bookmarks and Safari just switches me over to the pinned tab. I often want two tabs with the same website
It's reliable. Safari provides the same user experience on computer, mobile, and tablet. The search bar is both a google search window and a web address window. Going to "google.com" for a search is not necessary.

This is really hard. I mean, it keeps me productive? But I can't say there is a business ROI difference because I use Safari vs. Chrome. It's just preference.
I guess it runs video calls well which are key to my work.
Negative: I cannot use to do Bugherd tasks, which are frequent. So I switch to Chrome.
