You don't. Though to Apple's credit, users who are concerned with verifying checksums probably overlap with those that take cursory steps to harden their browser by, among various steps, disallowing Safari to open "safe" documents (that's what they're called in Safari's option).

Would it be prejudice to think that the checksum verifying users are not using safari?

Might be, I've no idea. Anecdotally I use Safari - faster, I prefer the UI, and I don't trust Chrome.

The only reason I've Chrome around is for the growing number of sites that only work with Chrome. Apps made by Google, in particular, increasingly don't support macOS/Safari. Which I find infuriating, but that's another topic.

Chrome is the new IE.

Yes. Chrome is surveillance-ware now. I’d rather use Safari or Firefox than Chrome.
