Your post is terribly misinformed.

Firstly, I don't know how you conclude Safari has the majority of market share on Mac.

> Chrome is convenient, but I'm not about to start using Opera or Safari because Google is making a better browser.

Chrome uses far more battery and processing power to achieve the same task as Safari. Safari animates content smoother and scrolls pages smoother. I would conclude Safari is currently the best web browser, despite it being slightly behind Chrome in standards support.

> ignoring standards like "filter: blur()"

This is false.

> implementing their own "backdrop-filter" that no other browser uses

This is false. Backdrop filter support is planned in all browsers except Edge currently. You can enable it with a Chrome flag. I should also mention it is a huge advancement for creating blurs on the web.

> Chrome and Firefox are the leaders in feature advancement

I don't see how you can consider Firefox a leader anymore. That browser is a mess, hopefully they make a comeback.
