What do you love or hate about Safari? (programming.dev)

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 like Safari from an ease of use and convenience perspective. Also love the iCloud private relay use as I found it largely unnecessary to use a VPN now. My only downsides are no native support for custom search engines and the way they handle extensions. It sucks developers are forced to pay yearly to host their apps and such and I think that’s why there aren’t as many great options as there are on Firefox.
