Hm even my non tech classmates in college knew the difference between chrome and safari. They care about speed and features they get used to (e.g. chrome password manager follows you to your phone, syncs history across devices). To be an absolute non user of such features to the point of not caring is not what I’d consider typical.

Could it be an age cohort thing?

Where did you get the idea that I don't use the features?

I'm not interested in evaluating or comparing the features, but I'll use them if they suit my needs.

You can't use them if they're not on the default application installed on your system.
