But Chromium-based browsers aren't for everyone. It DOES require a little knowledge of how those browsers work in order to keep them performing well and not be resource hogs.
Please educate me on how to make it less of a resource hog!

Not really. I view them as school-endorsed paperweights... when browsing 1 tab is sluggish, it is not worth your time.Chromebooks? Are those any good compared to Windows? The tech guy at my church hates Apple and has chromebooks and Windows devices at the church.
Sounds like not a good tech guy.Chromebooks? Are those any good compared to Windows? The tech guy at my church hates Apple and has chromebooks and Windows devices at the church.
As an educator, I agree. I've dealt with great school IT folks, and poor-quality IT folks. The great ones understand not only the limitations of even higher end Chromebooks, but also the speed issues of the low-end ones they purchase. The poor-quality iT folks think a browser and lowest price - and easiest management (not user functionality) is all that matters, the device is insignificant, and speed factors aren't a consideration.Not really.

I dont know about you but I hate it when I am forced to use a non apple browser on the Mac such as Chrome or Firefox. Some websites don't work properly with Safari and in these situations I need to use one. I also hate using non apple based email clients and much prefer using apple Mail. MS outlook does have its advantages but in reality it's a better product on Windows. You?
I've been using the Web since... maybe 1999? Long enough to very much prefer proper Mac apps to stuff embedded in a browser. Given the choice I'd prefer to work in Numbers instead of Google Sheets, and Pages instead of Google Docs -- but at work, if everyone on my team is editing a Google Doc, I can't well opt out of it.It's good to hear of legitimate issues. I'm not familiar with Sheets; I tend to use desktop apps (e.g. Excel) so haven't run into that problem myself. And I've never even heard of Workamajig but I trust you
If I may ask, how long have you been using the Web? We got it at home in 1996 so I went through the IE/Netscape wars and definitely favour using local apps instead of browser-based ones, so it's quite possible that my usage - using "sites" instead of "apps" - is causing me to see fewer issues compared with people who were always in the "Web app world".
Yeah he definitely is not a apple person.Sounds like not a good tech guy.
Safari for Mac seems to have issues with Facebook and some other sites as it gives me a out of memory errror.Well seeing as I'm a big fan of FOSS, of course I prefer non Apple browsers. Firefox is better than Safari in everyway and I wish I could use it's engine on my iPhone but can't because of the webkit restrictions
Hell on my Mac I started using Orion now and even it in beta is still miles better than Safari. The fact a third party browser is a better webkit browser than Apple's, that's bad.

The iOS and iPad OS versions have no issues.Welcome to Safari. Install Firefox (Also stop using Boomerbook)

Unfortunately its true.Because Apple cares more about the iPhone than the Mac since the iPhone makes them a [CENSORED] amount of money way more than the Mac does
Yes I remember the days when certain websites only worked in IE for Windows.I have never found a website that did not work in Safari Technology Preview. Not saying there aren't any, but I would view them as sketchy and stay away from them, either they purposely are not compatible, or just plain crappy coding. There were some that required certain browsers, but that was a long time ago, haven't come across one in a long time now
