I work and live in Sweden since one year, but I don't speak Swedish. For that reason, the one thing I miss in Safari and Firefox is the Google Translate integration in Chrome, on macOS and iOS. A life saver, honestly.
Yeah, it's built-in to Safari now: https://support.apple.com/guide/safari/translate-a-webpage-b...

Safari has translation built in, at least in Safari 14.

> - Actually decent dev tools (used to be terrible) As a daily user of Safari, I can't let you say that. The devtools suck. The network tools suck (why is it so hard to find the request payload??), the elements tools suck, there are basically no extensions (React, Redux, etc.). They are just horrible. As much as I try to use only Safari, I still fallback on Firefox Dev when I need some real devtools. I use it for the…
> consistent rendering issues This is because lazy/incompetent web developers make their sites in Chrome and don’t bother testing other browsers. You could have said the same about any browser that wasn’t IE a decade ago.
This has not been my experience at all.. I use Firefox on a day to day basis and generally build applications which work in Chrome and Firefox. They used to work well with EdgeHTML too.
I've run into cases in the past where basic SVG rendering with an feColorMatrix filter doesn't work properly in Safari and looks like garbage .. but works fine in Firefox and Chrome. I've run into lack of support for HTML elements that every other modern browser vendor supports. I still can't believe there's no proper input[type=date] support on desktop.
Away from desktop, I've also run into Mobile Safari failing to properly calculate the height of elements, not supporting background-attachment: fixed and localStorage failing unintuitively in incognito mode.
Safari is absolutely the browser that gives me the most issues; I'd call it the new IE.
Ouch, maybe everyone rushed to download it. I've got an 11 hour download estimate. Edit: Oh no, it just failed on me, too.

Does it still have adblocking limitations? The same that Chrome wanted to implement?
Honestly I've been finding ad blockers much less useful over time. Seems like every page I visit these days blocks the content until I disable it, if it's not an outright paywall. I think I spend more time disabling my ad blocker temporarily than I save by not loading ads in the first place. Do others find that ad blockers actually still work well? Meanwhile, reader mode in Safari will generally hide every ad on the…
Good ad blockers have a solution for this. For example, with uBlock Origin you enable an "annoyance" list.

The big memory leak where https://sb.music.apple.com (the web frame part of the Apple Music desktop app) would use multiple gigabytes of memory seems to have been fixed, either in 10.15.7 or the following Supplemental Update. That was my primary issue with it. Still, the iOS app is way smoother. I would appreciate if they would bring the iPad version to the Mac and add Genius Playlists.
I've had consistent UX bugs in the past with very basic pieces of functionality, like "search won't show any results until you do it twice" or "Play Later actually does the same thing as Play Next". Core functionality, trivially reproducible, really inexcusable.

Some people use tabs the same way others use bookmarks. Myself, I regularly have 100 tabs, easily, across several windows which are minimized. If the browser were to lose all tabs by accident, it wouldn't be a big deal (same as losing bookmarks isn't actually a big deal for some people)
Some people use tabs the same way others use bookmarks My wife does this on her phone. I find it maddening, and tell her to just bookmark her sites. But that's just not how her brain works. Fortunately, even between iOS updates, Safari remembers all of her old tabs.
I released iTerm2 version 3.4.0 this morning with Big Sur support. Please update because 3.3 has various issues with it.

You're not going to find the same AdBlockers that Chrome/FF have, but you will find AdBlockers that _work_. I agree that ads make the web unusable, but I've been content with the various blockers I've tried on Safari, and there's more every day. I use ABP, but 1Blocker and Wipr look good, and Safari's got the first 30% of privacy/adblocking taken care of with their various privacy and reader features.
Ghostery seems to work fine
