One example is just opening the Web Extension API in Safari. As much as I love Safari, Chrome/Firefox extension ecosystem is miles ahead. I don't use Safari for work for the same reason. Give me ModHeader : https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/modheader-modify-h... on Safari. But can't happen because the API is locked down.

I do agree with you on that! Safari shouldn’t really be tied to the system, also.

But having said that I now use safari and Firefox and I enjoy having both. Safari is simple and fast and gets the job done.

Firefox I use for a different kind of web surfing. Especially with containers. But safari syncs with my phone. So that’s another kind of browsing is do.

Plus one on Safari not being tied to the system. I would love a more regular cadence of updates. Yup Safari is pretty fast but I do fall back to Brave for my work. I still hope that Safari will open up their Web Extensions API more, they are moving in that direction, so that I can use Safari everywhere!
