I actually made a post the other day in the Safari subreddit, looking to be converted (I use 64-bit Chrome Canary at pretty much all times). I've heard that Netflix does quite a bit better in Safari (though, since I use Chromecast, that's probably irrelevant).

Thing is, this doesn't bother me. I know I should be alienated that Apple can see my searches for hot twink bums, but I just don't care. If I'm looking for something that I don't want anyone to know about, I turn on Vypr and open up Tor and use DuckDuckGo or Starpage or whatever else. I'm not sure what people expect out of browsers made my major corporations (or, anyone, for that matter).
