As you are on Mac, Safari is your best choice. It is already optimized for it. I recently switched to it as my main browser, and I doubt I will look back.

Sure it is closed-source (although WebKit is open), but you already use Apple's OS.

I have to disagree. I love consuming content through PDF format, even books, especially when paired with a great PDF reader.

Oh, never knew. Learn something everyday!

Regarding the question, I do not know either. I guess a lot of it falls on the user, and not much can be done about that.

Perhaps something like Mozilla's recommended extensions program (Apple already has to approve apps, so vetting is applied to Safari extensions, too) could be applied to the Chrome Web Store?

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I saw a tweet the other day about tricks to get around an app having the same name. Seems to be a somewhat common struggle.

I do not have much experience, with app/extension regulation of course, but I can imagine how it can get extremely difficult. Especially when you have so many users and developers.

Even Apple's $99 fee does not prevent a ton of shady apps.

Huh, never heard of this. Do you have any links/readings about that?

Even if there are custom ROMs and the like, as gruez said, you will not be receiving updates for other critical parts of the phone. Regardless, those are only community supported, and not from the vendor.

I have far less trust in a random community. Plus, their EOL could be completely unexpected.

I do not want my phone to be reliant on community updates, personally.

If you just search for any legitimate extension, you find so much junk. One well-known example: Search for uBlock Origin and you will find a sketchy one name "uBlock."

This seems something super easy to fix, but Google already has problems with apps on the Play Store, so not sure if I expect much better on the Web Store.

People love to hate (which seems justified on the surface) on Apple's high prices, but the unparalleled years of support makes it worth it for me. Especially for phones like the SE.

But if you are using iOS, aren’t you already trusting Apple?

GrapheneOS is a de-googled Android and secure.

Any info on which specific Mac models this applies to?

Awesome idea! It could be applied to a lot of different websites. Even ones where I'm too lazy to type out the whole URL :p

Regardless, having a system where you can base it off a website could definitely be expanded beyond Wikipedia. Great work!
