> Is XCode really 30GB?! It should be larger than that, if they're still forcing you to download all the simulator files you're never going to use.
It depends. The Xcode app is takes only ~6 GB on disk (it's compressed, and the next version will use even less disk space), and it contains the macOS SDK. The others SDK are optional, so it won't automatically install iOS simulators anymore.
It’s inexcusable that the only choices for default search engine are Google, or 4 companies which are reskinned versions of the Bing API. It should be possible to set the default search engine to any URL with a ?q= parameter.
So, performance hasn't kept up and you don’t like the extension ecosystem? Performance I understand, its hard to compete with v8 and JS is pumped down our pipes in ever-growing amounts. Extensions are poor, truly, with this I agree. But extensions are also a huge reason that people consider browsers to be unperformant (hilariously, based on my previous statement). I can understand the Safari team being less than exci…
They need a different direction, either to heavily lean on limitations and ease of creation/hooking into core APIs in a tested way that won't affect performance. Or something else entirely.

Interesting what search engines would you recommend

Almost all others they have Bing hidden somewhere, and a big lie "we are using Bing for 0.00001% of the results of course".
They are difficult to use to day-to-day but they can be useful sometimes.
For sure they don't share your data with Western governments.
So in terms of privacy it's actually not bad.
And in terms of censorship, they censor less Western content than on Google / Bing, etc.
Interesting to be written by a company who's revenue comes from selling a Safari plug-in.
Orion is a nice, macOS only, Safari-based browser with vertical nested tabs. https://kagi.com/orion/ It's made by folks at Kagi.
I'm a paid Kagi subscriber but every singe time I've tried Orion it's just been too buggy, even a couple months ago. It's unstable and incompatible with some web pages sadly, it feels like you're an alien on the web not a first class citizen (although only chrome is one).
To give more context it is also fairly new, it is built on top of WebKit so basically built from scratch, it is built by a small team and built for and financed only by the users (no VC money involved) and it is incredibily ambitious (like Kagi Search is).
It is also verifiably both the fastest browser on Mac and completely zero telemetry. It has experimental support for both Chrome and Firefox extensions both on macOS and iOS.
I've been using it as a personal daily driver for years now.

Give it a shot again. The development speed of Orion is unmatched [1] and it has the most active browser feedback website on the web [2].

They fail in Safari but work in chrome so it should be possible.
