No reason not to use it as a daily driver now. permalink fedilink source parent [–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 0 points 3 years ago Maybe it'll start maintaining Mozilla again.

It's not like Apple is some paragon of corporate virtue, why do you trust them? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] kimpilled@infosec.pub 1 point 3 years ago* If you’re running Safari, you’re already running their OS. If Apple wants to spy on you, they’ve already got the means to do so, so you’ve already decided to trust them. Switching to Chrome or Firefox means trusting one more entity in addition to Apple. This expands your possible exposure. permalink fedilink source parent
