I hear this a lot, but have used Safari as my since it was launch in 2003.Performance has always been great. UI has always been minimalist, out of the way, and has never upsold me on anything. There are times where it lags and times where it leads standards. There may be a a site every now and then that doesn’t work, but iOS makes that less likely. The only thing I can ever think of is that it’s not <insert favorite browser> or doesn’t have <some favorite esoteric feature>.
That said, the only plugins I use are ad blockers, so maybe I’m missing something.
It might look ok from user's point of view, but lot of the problems fall on web developers who have to work around a bunch of these issues to make their pages work in Safari
Been working with web related tech since the early 00’s. Safari has just never been a problem except for invasive ads, like back in the Flash days.
This is such nonsense and everyone who’s a web developer knows you’re not being honest here but just to make it ever clearer for anyone else here’s a chart showing the number of bugs that only occur in a single browser.

It’s undeniable that Apple makes a dogshit browser.

I was doing web dev or related from 2000 to 2016. IE6 was far worse than anything Safari has done.
