Is Safari Now a Bad Web Browser?

Nicolas Magand:

Today, after nearly 20 years of loyalty to Safari, I’m considering switching to another default browser on my personal computer. I mean, why is it so hard to watch a YouTube video without hiccups, and why can I only choose from a selection of 4 search engines, including three Bing-based?

Apple needs to spend more resources on their browser, and find new ambitions for it now that it will be more challenged on iPhones and iPads. The world needs a strong, well-funded alternative to Chrome.

Safari has been pretty sketchy for me as well lately. And frequently videos in YouTube will pause until I move my cursor around (though audio will still play). I've been contemplating moving to Chrome more and more.
