Safari is superior to Chrome. I don’t care much but I’m typing this just out of spite.

Chrome is a telemetry device with the appearance of a web browser.

Firefox is shady abusing telemetry. It seems FOSS but Mozilla has turned into an advertising company and activated adds for every user.

If you want real FOSS, you need to use Librewolf or some other alternative for the time being

> Safari is superior to Chrome

For visiting Google and Facebook maybe, but I can’t tell you the number of times ads and pop up malware has caused my phone to hang in Safari, which doesn’t happen in Chrome. You visit lesser known media sites, stream sports not available in your country on a shady site, etc. only on chrome, never safari.
