&gt;  It&#x27;s certainly snappier than the alternatives.<p>I recently got a new, high-end Macbook Pro (16GB, 1TB SSD, i7 2.8Gz). I&#x27;ve been a long-time Chrome user, but I figured this would be a good time to try Safari: I&#x27;ve heard good things about it&#x27;s energy usage.<p>I used Safari as my primary browser for about 2 weeks, and just switched back to Chrome. Safari wasn&#x27;t bad, but it seems to take a LONG time to make connections to websites. And sometimes it would just hang indefinitely. At first I thought this was a machine issue, but all my other networking apps (Chrome, Postman, etc.) return immediately.<p>Like parent comment, I really want to like Safari...
