Comment summary: Safari users praise its speed, smooth performance, and integration with Apple devices, making it a go-to browser for many on macOS. However, criticism includes limited website support and customization options compared to browsers like Chrome and Firefox. Concerns also arise over Safari's cookie management and adblocking complexity. Despite these drawbacks, its resource efficiency and lightweight nature are appreciated, especially for Mac users.

Hands down the best web browser for macOS icon macOS. It's way more lightweight, fast and less ressource hungry than Google Chrome icon Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox icon Mozilla Firefox. It's less customizable and has less extensions than the competition but it's enought for 95% of the people.

There is still an old Windows version, but it is outdated and unreliable.

Of course, this will be blazingly fast on Mac because it is MacOS' native browser. But it's more just like IE on steroids when comparing to Chrome and Firefox.

Behind Chromium and Firefox but usable if you have basic needs...
