Let’s start with the cross-platform availability. The comparison will be based on UI, features, themes, news integration, password management, and more. Unlike iOS, the battleground is even here for both the contenders as the system lets you change the default browser. In this post, we are going to compare the Safari browser to Firefox on Mac. The majority is inclined to use Safari on macOS as the browser also comes by default (which you can’t change though), and the user can smoothly carry-forward browsing data between the devices.įirefox is emphasizing on the rapid development of the browser to lure users and take the lead from the rivals. With each iteration of macOS, Apple has improved the default browsing experience on Mac. Safari is using Webkit while Firefox has opted for the Gecko engine. Safari and Firefox are two of the last major browsers that don't use Google’s Chromium rendering engine.
