Jus wondering as a Mac user without mich experience: how is Safari in terms of privacy compared to say Firefox?

Apple’s whole marketing angle is based on privacy to differentiate themselves from Google and the others. If they get caught doing something stupid it seems like that would cost them more than they would make from the stupid stuff.

I don’t have specific data on Safari, but Apple choosing to do pretty much all ML stuff on device and leave it there bodes well for their general thoughts on privacy when compared to pretty much every other company that wants to pull all that data back so it can be used for other things.

Marketing angle, sure, but starting in 2019, Apple’s core MacOS product moved to selling users data to serve them better ads. They were only private for as long as they could attract new users with that. Now all they really have is “less privacy disrespecting than Windows 11 or ChromeOS”
