      Safari is in second place behind Chrome and has 15% of the browser market share globally and 25% in the USA. Yeah, people use Safari.

        Modern Chrome and Safari used to share the same open source engine until it was forked. They’re not that different from each other

          They’ve been diverged for nearly 10 years, and their features and compatibility vary significantly at this point.

          Yes, they share the same WebKit roots, but Safari isn’t likely to make it impossible to block ads any time soon. That’s difference enough.

      Safari power usage on mac is incredibly low compared to Firefox and other browsers. If you’re on battery while on Mac hardware I highly recommend using Safari

      Safari is great. Quick Look, syncing tab groups, good touchpad navigation, non janky UI and probably more are my reasons for using it. I just wish it was possible to have shared bookmarks with Firefox which I use on Linux (or have an actual Linux port of it even but that’s even less going to happen)
