I’ve been using Safari full time for a week. I’m not switching back. Here’s my experience so far 🧵

Performance: Anecdotally, I’ve found Safari is smoother rendering HTML and CSS, while Chrome excels with JS-heavy tasks. Makes Safari the king for content reading.

this is because they prioritise the user not the developer, they focus on implementing new APIs properly rather than rushing (meaning we get things like Service Worker late, but implemented in a way that's better for users and security)

Features: Tab groups and reader mode are here, which is all I really need. Plus, integration with the new MacOS Passwords app is *chef’s kiss.* Cancelled my 1Password subscription.

Dev tools: I was warned that I’d miss Chrome devtools. The lack of extensions like React is a crime. Still, the essentials are here: CSS grid lines, quick select with cmd + shift + C, good storage and network tabs. It also feels less cluttered.
