Battery thing aside, it's inferior. As a developer that sometimes have to dabble on the front end, I have come across areas where Firefox and Chrome supported features for years and I just assumed Safari did also...nope it didn't dues to what I could only assume is some nonsense Apple dogma

On mobile platforms that's a pretty major feature to brush aside.

Chrome has a bunch of Google spyware bundled in it. No thanks.

I’ve long found it shocking the extent to which Google and Mozilla shrug this aspect off. Between laptops, phones, and tablets, computing is dominated by battery powered devices… power efficiency should be a headlining goal, not a trailing afterthought.

As a user I don’t care nearly as much if my browser supports WebOnions v2 or whatever feature-du-jour as I do that it’s not wantonly burning through my battery just doing basic browsing.

Firefox improved this a fair amount a while ago now - by moving to CoreAnimation for a bunch of their rendering?

I find Chrome absolutely murders the battery life of my work 16" MBP, though.

I would 100% use Safari on Android/Windows but, alas.
