Safari is often treated harshly, especially by developers working on websites. I also can’t recall if anyone ever said or wrote that he likes it as a user.

I personally am using it on all my devices and I enjoy it simplicity. I dislike the fact that there are very few good extensions for it, but I’m not sure if that’s a problem from developers or from Apple.

So, my question today is: what do you like or hate about Safari, that either made you use it or uninstall?

I love the UI however there are several dealbreakers:

cannot add other search engines besides the default ones (I use none of them)
extensions framework is terrible, almost non existent ecosystem; they frequently stop working a after new safari changes
only bearable with a good system wide ad blocker like AdGuard, which costs money

If these issues would be addressed, it would be perfect browser for me
