Available in Homebrew Cask as "eloston-chromium"

(Though frankly, if you're using a Mac, Safari should be your browser of choice, if only for privacy reasons.)

What privacy protections does Safari have that Firefox doesn't? (Keeping in mind the vast extension store - I include extensions like NoScript within the umbrella of "Firefox")

Moreover, does Safari provide something similar to Firefox's tab containers? Blocking Facebook, Amazon et al. from tracking me across the web is a big deal in my book.

Good point. Safari is not a bad browser, but it's all or nothing - I prefer Firefox since I can find add ons if there's a feature I want that isn't included.

Safari is my browser of choice. Until they killed off extensions with Safari 12, just a few days ago.

At best this is a strong exaggeration, and at worse completely wrong.

I’m not sure what you mean here. I just used safari 12 with extensions installed. Are there new restrictions for extensions?
