I switched to Safari when it added favicons to browser tabs the other month. The CPU-usage/battery difference is huge. I also like the new Safari extension paradigm and have ported some extensions of my own that could be improved by moving CPU-bound work to Swift.

I only use Chrome for development now.

I have Chrome only for the built in Flash. I don’t play many flash games these days, but I don’t know what I’m going to do when Google finally strips that out. Seems like Kongregate has drifted towards Unity but there are a few classics, and I have an old game that a friend and I made a long time ago that I like to play from time to time.
Am I misunderstanding something, or you just said Safari added favicon support in 2018?
You did not misunderstand: that is a new thing in Safari
