I don’t know if you’re being serious or sarcastic.
I use Safari with Apple’s private relay and various ad blockers and have been quite happy. Are there reasons to be concerned? (other than Apple=bad)
Concerned no I think... But I am gonna guess you missing on some features and specially extensions but I might be wrong. Except on iOs since there you are missing on that anyway.
Yeah I’m 100% fine with the functionality. I prefer to keep my life simple. Thanks.
Well the privacy/security enthusiasts will prefer open source browsers, as these are viewed as more trustworthy.
Safari is closed source (although WebKit, the rendering engine that Safari uses, is open source).
Ok thanks.
I’m willing to sacrifice some FOSS for convenience, as long as it’s reasonable. But in general I’m a strong supporter of open source and publish my own code that way.
