    Safari Shouldn't Be Ignored Anymore, With Many Good Features Such As Malicious URL Blocking, Safari Is The Best Browser For Apple Devices, Oh, Also Safari Turns Out Can Be Installed On Windows, Just An Old Version Of It

    Great design, minimalistic looks. If you are in the Apple ecosystem is great. The downside is that it has no extension for example LastPass for password manager and DF Tube for YouTube, if you can live without extensions... its a great browser.

    More privacy, more user control of how the browser functions, More technical interface, includes a web authoring and editing tool, integrated with email, and doesn't report home to Google.

    QtWebEngine is chromium based. Finally a chromium-based open-source browser that seems trustworthy, comes without any google components and that is easy to install in Linux from official repos

    Chrome fans will do well to realise that Chrome is proprietary and contains a lot of code designed to spy on what you do online, correlate this with the rest of your Google account data and use it to make money. Iridium, on the other hand, takes the Chromium codebase and specifically removes privacy-invading parts. Unlike Chrome, Iridium is open source, so you can check the code yourself, if you wish. Some functionality is reduced (e.g. Flash) but in that case try Vivaldi.

    Duck duck go does have a desktop version for Mac now. I am using it now. You must have the mobile version and request the version for your desktop through the settings of your mobile app. It takes a little while but it works well.

    It is good, but unfortunately only mobile. It depends on the web renderer the system provides, it would be better to my opinion if it used Servo for example.
