My question is why use Safari, other than it being preinstalled? It feels barebones. There must be some reason most Mac users are go out of their way to avoid Safari. ~70% of Mac users use chrome or chromium browsers, versus only 19% who use safari, and 3% who still use firefox [I searched "mac browser market share" and clicked the first link]. My guess is it's the lack of good extensions. People spend a lot of time in the browser, so lack of customizability is frustrating.


Because it’s barebones. Most of the time I’m on my Mac I use “regular” apps; I never really used web apps much (on my Mac nor on my OpenBSD/linux machines)
