It depends? If you're a more advanced user, need extensions, and a more complete browser overall, you have to use Chrome(ium) and Firefox.

They're the ones using Apple products generally so there's certainly overlap with both chrome and safari

Lol, no. An important reason for me to not use Safari is that it doesn't support uBlock Origin, 'tech illiterate people' rarely care about ad-blocking.

I used Firefox before safari because of uBlock Origin, but performance and battery life were big problems. There are ad blockers in Safari gives me the same end result as uBlock Origin.
