Container tabs are also a big plus and is what made me start using firefox again. Until recently, there were no favicons in tabs so it was hard to differentiate, and once you have a lot of tabs you have to scroll, while on chrome there is no scrolling and you can use favicons to see all of your tabs at a glance.įF has tab scrolling, but you also have tree style tabs which is better than chrome when you have a lot of tabs.
Tab management is worse on safari vs chrome. I think it would be really insightful to do studies where you take tiny features from Safari, like the context menu colour, put them in Chrome and survey users on how they liked the product. I asked her why and she couldn't describe it - just that she was certain. She's not computer-saavy, but she far preferred Chrome over Safari.
MAC OS USER PROFILES FOR FIREFOX MAC
This is all that comes to mind right now.Īn employee at my old company used a Mac Mini. Safari's address bar often didn't have the thing I wanted, and had extra things that I definitely didn't want or took a second for my brain to parse.Ĭhrome's context menu has better contrast, being black on white rather than black on silver. The omnibar is simple and usually shows exactly the right suggestions. It's been a while since I used macOS (RIP my 2012 13" MacBook Air), but Chrome's scrolling behaviour is more effective - "solid" is how I'd describe it. I think when I used macOS, Chrome had DNS preloading but Safari didn't. Chrome's tab dragging is really tight and predictable.Ĭhrome's first paint is faster and more consistent. They're visually easier to parse at a glance and arguably nicer to look at.
I wouldn't want some of sites I visit on my own time to autocomplete at work, but I still want to have it when I go home.Īs far as I know it also isn't possible to make any sort of CLI incantation to open the safari binary as a different user (like sudo with specifying a different non-root user) and not have it override whatever is currently running.Ĭhrome's tabs are nicer to use. Also useful if you don't want the browser in one of the profiles to remember any sites/cookies from another area of your life. It's very useful if you have multiple accounts on any services and need access to them simultaneously (i.e. Chrome does this magnificently-I have personal, school, and work profiles all running and open at the same time. Kind of like docker containers for the browser. The utility comes from having multiple sandboxed, separate profiles running at the same time with separate cookie jars, in separate memory spaces. Unless you want to log out and into another mac account just to change profiles, this really isn't useful.
