Carrot app finally supports Weather Channel as a source! @CARROT @weatherchannel @CARROT_app
@atpfm and turn on for select ad heavy sites like new sites and working great now. With Chrome you get text 2fa autofill but most sites you don’t get native Apple Pay even though technically sites can now add support. So it’s a hassle. No mobile sync is major. Chromes adblockers are very limited. It’s ugly if prefer apples design language. Chromes web inspector less pretty but much better. And you don’t get captchas all the time and many more extensions. But still Safari here for now.
@atpfm and still the occasional time might need chrome if doing an advanced web app like Figma. Have noticed for long time safari was slower loading where second or so loading before anything shows unlike chrome that was instant. Finally did digging and discovered it was 1Blocker. With that off the sites load instantly and workbench test tools show Safari even faster than chrome. It makes sense having to block things before loading page would slow it down. So switched to off by default.
@atpfm Also went back and forth between Chrome and Safari over the years as hate filling out a long form only for it to fail in Safari and have to start all over. Disabling content blockers went things break or ordering helps a lot but often things still didn’t work. Eventually discovered turning off additional advanced privacy features in Safari settings has made the vast majority of sites work like chrome. But now losing out on privacy as can’t disable that on just select sites.
@atpfm Waze interface while the tiles are dated, as more Applely notably in CarPlay where most will interact with it. Google interface is still very much Android. So I still find myself jumping between the three. Hopefully eventually all traffic incidents from Waze show up in Google, and the UI gets a bit more refined, then could see myself using that fully even if far less enjoyable than Apple Maps, the other benefits would probably make it worth it.
@atpfm Google Maps however is much worse than Waze for incident reports, aka for speed traps, items in the road, etc. Over the years the teams merged, and Google Maps in theory got more of that, but when testing both side by side Waze continues to report drastically more in this has always been the biggest benefit of Waze. Apple Maps interface blows both away for an Apple user, but as you noted lacks the data Google has.
@daringfireball i feel like it’s intentionally suppose to be ai since the collective is doing it and this is to promote the show, tho is odd since in theory the real artist in the show could have through anyone to make it perfectly. So it odd but they won’t have used ai to steal someone’s work and double down that artist made it so we all just be missing some sort of attempt humour they are doing I assume?

@daringfireball Apple choosing ChatGPT would only make ChatGPT stronger and perhaps someday and existential thread to Apple's dominance so I understand where they are coming from.
@daringfireball In the old days, choosing Google to power Siri would have been a godsend. Where not, ChatGPT seems to be the best at most and Anthropic better than Google as other things and somehow Google has found itself at the bottom (well still far above Apple in this regard). Google makes sense as the partner, but as a user feels like Apple's Siri will then always be ok but far from the best.
