I was too optimistic about using Safari as my default browser
Safari was initially promising but became unreliable with frequent crashes, prompting a switch back to Arc for better performance.
I was initially optimistic about Safari, as it was fast and smooth. However, once I started using extensions, it began to freeze and crash frequently. This was particularly frustrating with the Grammarly extension, which I rely on heavily. Additionally, I experienced crashes on YouTube, and the sound would randomly stop working, forcing me to reload the page. I tried various workarounds, but none of them resolved the issues.
For now, I am switching back to Arc, even though it will no longer be updated with new features. Arc just works, and for web development, it is much better than Safari.
This experience is part of my broader journey of leaning into the Apple ecosystem, where I talk about the trade-offs of going all-in on Apple products and services.
