What do you love or hate about Safari? (programming.dev)

Safari is often treated harshly, especially by developers working on websites. I also can’t recall if anyone ever said or wrote that he likes it as a user.

I personally am using it on all my devices and I enjoy it simplicity. I dislike the fact that there are very few good extensions for it, but I’m not sure if that’s a problem from developers or from Apple.

So, my question today is: what do you like or hate about Safari, that either made you use it or uninstall?

I just use it to airplay YouTube videos from my iPad which has it skip ads and sponsor segments with the sponsorblock segment without having to bother with the YouTube app. Don't even have it installed. So it's awesome in that area.

I hate that extensions like sponsorblock are paid on safari probably because Apple chatges an annual $100 fee while other browsers don't. I just use Firefox with addons I prefer like containers on desktop.

You might want to try the Yattee app. No ads and has SponsorBlock
