#GOOGLE CHROME SAFARI OR FIREFOX FOR MAC WINDOWS#
I used to use only chrome on all my windows devices and chromebooks, and loved chrome. As examples, see the "Dragonfly" project or the fact that Google is thinking about limiting ad-blockers on Chrome. Fortunately, due to the public outrage these policies were halted before getting implemented at large scale but the fact that Google started working on these is bad imo.

Lastly, Google has recently been doing some shady stuff. I believe we all need a bit of privacy and control over our data. improved translations) but the fact that Google collects all this data without my knowledge and argues that it is for my own good makes me uncomfortable. I'm not saying that I'm against giving my data to Google for better technologies (i.e. Google recently came out and admitted to this but argued that all of this is done for a better user experience.

It has been shown that Google collects and stores excessive user data (most of it without the users knowledge). The other issue for me with Google is it's focus on collecting data for advertising. It should be noted this issue got fixed before any news coverage (but a similar thing has happened with Firefox before ). After a few days, YouTube would not render in its current form and suggested using Chrome for a better experience. As a more recent example of this behaviour, I experienced this when trying Microsoft Edge's preview build on MacOS which is built on Chromium (Chrome's open-source engine). Basically, Google sees search as its main source of profit and does everything to crush small but promising competitors to protect its ad revenue. provides a good (but long) summary of the case. The first one is the anti-trust case against Google. My problems with Google's policies are in different areas: I was referring to the way Google collects a lot of the data. I admit anti-consumer might have been a bit much and I've edited that part out.

If you already have an iPhone (or anything else from the Apple ecosystem) logging into sites will be seamless across different devices and you don't need to pay for a password manager. It's worth noting that I have to replace my battery soon and the work I did for different sessions was not the same so these results may be biased but aside from the lack of extensions, I've found Safari to be a pretty good alternative for Chrome.Īnother dealbreaker for me was Safari's support of Keychain. The dealbreaker for me is the performance While my battery would be drained after 3 hours of browsing/work with Chrome and Firefox, using Safari for the same timespan consumes less than 50% of the battery. To be honest, I'm still seeing ads and ad blockers aren't as strong on Safari compared to Chrome and Firefox.

It is more restricted compared to the other two but I feel like this is from Apple's strategy to make sure the users are safe. However, in the end I've settled with Safari. Firefox is pretty good privacy wise and has a better support of extensions compared to Safari. I used to have Chrome as my default browser but with seeing Google's policies recently, tried Firefox and Safari as alternatives. iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch wallpapers.These belong in the beta subreddits listed below.
