    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. One example is our medical record system, which runs only on Google Chrome. This is a nuisance, because it means I have to have two browser windows open, one of the eUHR and one for the portal.

    It's very easy to schedule events where we can set the agenda in advance and add events as tasks so that we can track the progress. It can be integrated with products like tidycal to check booking time, messaging software like MS Teams, Slack and video call software like Zoom for a seamless experience.

    Cons
    Apple
    • 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
    Apple
    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.

    Vivaldi Browser is great in terms of usability and customization, if you don't like something the way it is by default, there's a good chance that you can tweak to make it work for you

    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.

    Since Vivaldi has a calendar built-in in the browser only so it is very efficient to add new events and edit already scheduled events, We can manage multiple calendars as per our needs without added complexity because it has a user-friendly user interface, events can be defined as tasks so that we can track progress on the projects.

    Return on Investment
    Apple
    • 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.
