Safari will become irrelevant. Users, some through ignorance, others coerced by incompetent front-end teams ("Safari is the new IE") will switch to Chrome. It will be the end of Safari. There will only be a few extension developers left.

When that happens, please switch to Firefox. It has more extensions than you'll ever need, and it's better for the tech environment and your privacy.

I use Safari as a daily driver because it tends to have a low impact on my machine. Whether Apple has the stomach for competing with Google directly after these changes remains to be seen, Microsoft threw in the towel after all.
