> Safari is faster, uses less RAM and is more power-efficient.
replyI am really curious about data proving these.
I am not aware of any benchmarks proving or disproving.
People benchmark it from time to time [0]. It makes sense though—Apple has poured resources into making the Safari engine battery efficient on their phones, and the macOS version is a beneficiary.
reply> I don't think people realize that you can go back to a website after you've visited.
replyThis is about as wrong as you can possibly get.
This would be true in a stateless world (assuming you can remember the site you want to visit).
Which the web hasn't been since a very long time.
Can you give me a concrete example? I close windows and tabs with ruthless abandon.
replyUnless you have a web app which is entirely local and doesn't save its state to local storage, what could you possibly be doing that requires a tab to remain in residence?
