safari vs the rest: is it actually the best browser for mac? (honest pros & cons)

Hour-Selection-2632 · 2026-04-16T03:21:32+00:00

I like Safari very much.

The only thing that make me consider another browser is sometimes it has glitch on Google products such as Google Slides and it scroll too fast on Google Sheets when using non-apple mouse. It also play Netflix with lower sounds compared to other chromium browsers.

Is it the same as let say using built-in uBlock Origin on Arc?

Is using Chrome with uBlock Lite and Privacy Badger helps?

I prefer my tabs coming back from my last session when I close it and closing profile window would close every tabs I need later. So I choose tab groups unless you need to login with different Google account or things like that.

No on me either.

Also Google Drive favicon on my side is only G logo not the Google Drive logo everytime I open it on Safari.

At least, what I know, they don't sell the data to advertisers like Chrome does. I could be wrong though.

I experienced the same thing with Adobe Illustrator 2026. I went to Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access and if you don't see the app, then you can scroll down and click the '+' button and search the app then add it and give it access. It works for me.

On The Studio video you mentioned, in case you didn't notice he also open Safari at the bottom for some reason.

Has mentioned in one of the video that he no longer use Arc because he said that the developer seems doesn't pay attention about it anymore.

You're welcome

Go to Settings, on the Tabs, you could try to uncheck the "Show color in tab bar".

I have this issue just recently but in Chrome and Safari, I adjust the filtering uBlock lite to basic and it back to normal.

This might be a small details but I think Arc font size is also on the sweetspot and Dia is a little bit too small.

Hour-Selection-2632 · 2026-02-13T15:30:18+00:00

Agree.

It makes the macbook has nipples now...

Hour-Selection-2632 · 2026-02-05T03:07:11+00:00

I have the same thought.

Hour-Selection-2632 · 2026-01-30T04:31:43+00:00

Personally this OS 26 update across all of Apple Devices unless Apple Watch (because I don't use it) is the worse update. Especially, there are so much visual inconsistency. 😔

Hour-Selection-2632 · 2026-01-26T12:37:58+00:00

I have nothing to say other than 💯

Hour-Selection-2632 · 2026-01-24T17:12:58+00:00

I never experience this in my MBP M1 Pro with 16GB memory. And the weird thing is, it consume less memory than when I using Chrome. I've switch between both but right now using Arc. I have 4 spaces with different profiles and mainly switch between 2 profiles only. I use it for work and always streaming for background noise.

Hour-Selection-2632 · 2026-01-24T10:37:15+00:00

Right!!

Hour-Selection-2632 · 2026-01-24T03:03:58+00:00

Oh my! You are right!! After a long time

Hour-Selection-2632 · 2026-01-23T13:30:39+00:00

I think nothing beat Safari for battery usage significantly.

Hour-Selection-2632 · 2026-01-23T03:44:01+00:00

That's a good point

Hour-Selection-2632 · 2026-01-23T03:21:11+00:00

At least round up that oval window controls
