On macOS, Safari is the best for me due to noticeably increased battery life.

Edge used to do this while having all the Chrome QoL features that make it better than Safari. Now they're eating away at that cause they're idiots. The Windows 11 era of Windows sucks

I really don't get it. I switched to Edge on Mac a while ago because it was more compatible than Safari but less bloaty than Chrome.

But I don't think they have anywhere near enough market share yet to start milking it. There is _nothing_ keeping me tied to Edge, and I haven't even really started recommending it to people yet.

In a way them doing it now (compared to later on down the line) is good. They're showing what they were going to do all along.

And loud fans too? Memories from my old Intel MBP 2015... Safari was the best browser. Chrome was way too loud.

Not sure if that's macOS / Apple giving some sort of preferential treatment to Safari that other apps don't get, though.
