Compare Safari Ventura with Chromium-based browsers

I have been having a few problems with safari recently. It just stops responding at times, and some of the extensions just don’t work, or don’t even appear in the taskbar.

Edge is proving to be great, You can turn off all the fluff if you need - mine goes to a completely different start page to the horrible Microsoft one. I love the fact that tab groups actually work. I like the implementation of the sidebar app - they sort of take up half a page. A quick look at them and pop it away - great for productivity. I also love the vertical tabs.

More recently I got on the beta testing for Arc https://arc.net. That is quite a different take on the browser. It still feels a bit “beta” and takes some getting used to, but I am enjoying it.

I feel like Safari is lagging at the moment, and it is drifting a little. It has seen no real user-facing innovation for a while; for example, Orion built on the same platform allows some Firefox and Chrome extensions.

I do wonder if they have become a bit lazy with some of their applications - perhaps that is for the Contrary Opinions thread Here
