Not as much as Chrome or Firefox, but just enough for my daily use. It may have not always been so, but nowadays Safari has lots of extensions available. Good amount of quality extensions that don’t slow the browser down No issues whatsoever, and way under 10% CPU usage even with dozen tabs open. It had bugs years ago, but it seems most of them are now tackled. It starts up immediately and doesn’t get unresponsive. Not only Safari is fastest when surfing the web pages, it’s also fast resource-wise. I have many devices at home using wifi and sometimes it’s not that fast, but with Safari every page loads instantly. Blazing fast surfingĪs Macworld’s benchmarks prove, Safari is the fastest web browser in 2017. No useless bars or buttons, every space fills its purpose. Tabs fill up the space horizontally and the top bar is minimal as possible – more space vertically. I like Apple products not because they are user friendly, but well designed. There has been ups and downs, but Safari 11 really stands out. Safariĭefault and preinstalled for Apple users since the dawn of Internet time. In 2017 it’s not my choice because of the UI and lack in performance. SummaryĬhrome is the safe choice, it’s the one that has most extensions and support. This is a deal breaker for me and the reason I no longer use Chrome as my daily choice. Chrome processes per tab is really pain in the ass, they take a lot of CPU, and RAM. Con: SlowĬhrome is getting slower and slower. There’s really no need for themes, but I’m a fan of minimalistic style and tabs below address bar. There was a time you could tweak Chrome with more radical ways. Google is pro in dev stuff, so that’s why Chrome and Canary are still my browser of choice when it comes to work or developing stuff. No other browser provides close to Chrome’s toolbox (okay, maybe the latest FirefoxDeveloperEdition, but still Chrome wins feature-wise) It has everything from basic inspecting to responsive and accessibility audition tools. Developer-friendlyĬhrome’s Developer Tools are by far the best for web developers, hands down. One of the features that have kept me using Chrome for many years. Not everyone likes this, but I like the top 8 pages that show up when I open the new tab page. Some extensions are quite bad, outdated and unnecessary though and it takes time to find the good ones. Great mount of extensionsīeing the most popular choice, there are a lot of extensions. I just need to type first or two first letters and I can instantly go to the site I was just browsing on different device. What I loved about Google is that I can use the browser on my Mac and same visiting history shows up in my mobile phone. Syncs across operating systems and devices For Google Chrome users it means that data syncs between browser and Google account, search is optimized for you and so on. “Everyting Google” is a good and a bad thing. The most popular browser in 2017, need I say more. Let’s start about Chrome which is the the most popular browser today. This article is mainly written on OS X user perspective, hence Safari is included. Used it many days, but then made an even more radical switch to Safari. I had already been using Firefox Developers Edition as my dev browser, so decided to give it a go as my main browser. As geeky app-o-holic, it was time for me to rethink my browser choices as well, so I downloaded cleverly branded new Firefox Quantum on my MacBook Pro. Mozilla published the new Firefox on 14th of November and Twitter exploded.
