   If you're a Mac user who has always used Chrome because somebody told you to, may I suggest you switch to Safari? It's a great browser, and Apple has (thus far) zero incentive to track or monetize your use of the web.

     Strong disagree. De gustibus non disputandum est.

     (You don’t have compact tabs turned on, do you? Because that is ugly.)

     I just really really want them to take another pass on the Mac version’s UI
     There are soooo many little details that are just horrendous in use. It makes me so sad.
     (And I think it looks ugly, not that chrome looks good)

     @codefolio @danielpunkass That’s bizarre. I’ve never seen it do that, and can’t reproduce that locally (with dreamwodrh.org or with a nonsense domain; both treat it as a domain unless I press the down arrow to start choosing suggestions). I wonder what happened?

     I'd need to learn all its quirks again.

     I saw this thread, thought "I haven't tried Safari in forever," popped it open, typed a URL into the bar...

     Oh, hey, it takes Siri's suggestion over a literal URL typed into the bar. So I type "dreamwidth.org" to see how it looks, and I get Wikipedia.

     Just super bizarre. That’s not the behavior I get, and no, I do not (ever) need to type the https://.

     It’s possible this is a result of my settings (screenshot below, and I have the plugin to redirect to Kagi which…probably doesn’t matter here?). But even changing those settings, I can’t reproduce what you’re seeing.

     Nondeterminism of recommendations, maybe? Like if the Wikipedia page was in your history or something?!

     Don't know what to tell you. I just typed "dreamwidth.org." It lists dreamwidth.org under "Google suggestions", but it defaults to Safari suggestions if I just type it and hit enter.

     It would probably be better if I typed the https:// explicitly?
