Comment on Google Chrome pushes ahead with targeted ads based on your browser history
SimplePhysics@sh.itjust.works 9 months agoDamn, how old is that MacBook? I think you should ask for a hardware upgrade, because both Chromium based browsers and Firefox don’t use too much resources and run smoothly on the newer models. I can’t say that Chrome isn’t buggy, as I barely use it, but I have never encountered a Firefox bug on any of my devices.

Doesn’t every browser on Apple hardware use Safari for rendering?

On iOS and iPadOS they do but not on MacOS to my knowledge

*Most Apple hardware macOS is a desktop OS. It has a terminal, it lets you download that weird .app file from a random website, and it allows browsers to use their own engines. So, not too different from Windows or Linux.
You are correct for iOS and iPadOS though. They must use the WebKit rendering engine. All browsers on those are just Safari reskins.

So it’s just an iOS thing, got it.
Still weird, I truly yearn for the Linux Phone
