Safari’s fast, less crashy, highest privacy protections, and uses less memory per tab; I often have hundreds of tabs so that’s important. It also has the best inspector, much better than Firebug. Add in StopTheMadness and an adblocker (currently using Ghostery), and it’s pretty great.
Degoogled Chromium is useful for sites that don’t work in Safari, or as a sandbox I don’t mind crashing in development.
I’ve given up on Firefox, it’s too fat and bloated.
I grew up during the Cold War, I had zero expectation that I’d live to adulthood, and I’m still unconvinced the world after 2000 exists. The way to cope is nihilism and/or activism.
Nuclear war, global warming makes the Earth uninhabitable, new plagues wipe out everyone, AI poisons us or creates nanotech grey goo, fascists take over and gas everyone who isn’t them, a dinosaur-killer meteor hits the Earth again, eventually the Sun expands and fries the planet. You personally are going to die, probably long before any of those.
So you can either say “fuck it” and do your usual stuff anyway, or get involved in trying to stop or delay one of the disasters. Have fun with it.
Or as Morty says: “Everybody’s going to die. Come watch TV.”
