Chose Safari
Firefox is very outdated. Google Chrome is a fair competitor but I prefer Safari because it's made by Apple and works well in the ecosystem.
Chose Safari
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.
Chose Safari
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 …
Chose Safari
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 …
Chose Safari
an equal contender but all these browser have their strengths and weaknesses.
Chose Safari
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 …

Great for general browsing. The reason I would hesitate to recommend would be that Safari just WILL NOT work with BugHerd, which is a tool our company uses a lot. I've had two full-time developers try to figure it out and they cannot get it to work. I spent well over an hour. So instead, I just use chrome. And other google plugins we use a lot don't work or are not available on Safari.

Pros
  • It's fast, seems faster than other browsers I have used
  • i think it's very intuitive, which may just be because I have used it for so long.
  • Love that it syncs across apple devices

Cons
  • 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

Usability
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.

Alternatives Considered
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 internet, but there are some internet applications that do not run on Safari. For those, I have to use Google Chrome.

Return on Investment
  • 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.
