And now we only can only hope for the next iteration to take over: KHTML → WebKit → Blink → Edge
Unlikely, given how Edge just migrated to Blink itself.
Just want to put here that if you're using a Mac and haven't tried Safari recently, you're missing out. A few things: - Battery life is fantastic compared to Chrome/FF - Privacy seems to be top-notch - The tab ordering situation is now chrome-like (my biggest gripe in older versions of safari) - Experimental features are 1 click away, easily enable/disable WebGL2 - Support for the WebExtensions standard means addons…

Either that or “Alcatraz”
They’ve had almost as many California places as they had big cats, so it might be time for a new theme soon.
Man I still haven't even left Mojave for Catalina. I don't think I'm gonna be changing OSs until I buy a second or third generation ARM Air that comes with whatever they're calling the 2022 Mac OS.
32-bit apps. I have 32-bit apps where the developer is either gone or will not update, thus if I wish to keep using these I have to stay on Mojava. This applies to four Macs which will likely never move away from Mojava.

- Privacy seems to be top-notch It's baffling at best that you imply you believe this. It's proprietary software (so you can't prove it already at this point) from one of the most user-hostile companies in history, and one that at the bare minimum "was" involved in mass data gathering programs (example: PRISM), but everything points to "still is" and "will be" - not only for arbitrary governments but for its own pock…

I think you misunderstand that some people treat tabs as bookmarks. Let's be honest - bookmark management is tedious in all browsers, so I would rather have tabs open with stuff that I want to browse later.
This is pretty funny because you're saying it's working as intended, but also saying the problem is that bookmark management is tedious. So fixing bookmark management would fix the tab problem.

My main browser is Safari, and I'm very happy with it, but I do also run Firefox for some things. I enjoy some of its plugins more (eg, ForgetMeNot), but overall it's pretty clunky compared to Safari.

> when I see people using something in a way it wasn’t intended (...), my question is: how is this UI failing them? This is a legitimate question, but not the only one in that situation. Another view, more in line with the unix philosophy, is that "using something in the intended way" is a meaningless concept. A tool must work always, no matter how it is used and abused. Thus, instead of asking "how is this UI failin…
As a non-programmer, this seems like an odd philosophy. If I use the claw side of a hammer to strike a nail, I’d expect that it is t going to work well. It seems like there’s a limit on “make the tool work regardless of the use case.”
