I think it's extra slow in Safari, for some reason. Just like Google Maps is also slower in Safari than in Chrome. However, overall I would say Safari is the fastest browser out there, based on my own browsing habits. Also most memory efficient.
I have a feeling this may be React related. Safari is on average far, far faster on any site. But I have a larger React site that slows down quite a bit more than Chrome.
Perhaps related to the const+let vs var bug the other day.
I usually get the “this page is using too much memory” warning repeatedly using safari. And apparently there’s no way to make it go away, which is super annoying.
I feel the same with Twitter re-design too. Everyone was hating the re-design when it was launched but my twitter use increased from once or twice a week to couple of times a day after the new design.
It is amazingly fast(on desktop at least), behaves in all the right ways you would expect, you never lose you position anywhere, using back button always works properly, gracefully handles connection loss, and again, it's so fast and pleasurable to use. Too bad can't say the same for the content on the site.
People dislike change, but I don't believe big companies change their design on a whim; they do a ton of research, and while some may complain, they know it'll be an improvement over their existing designs.
I get notifications popping up but there's nothing there. Same thing with the messages jewel.
I'll get a notification about a reply to my comment, I'll go to the comment, like it, and then it will scroll me down to the same reply as a top level comment at the bottom of the post.
I've reported all the weirdness I've come across but nothing's changed since I was switched over a month ago.
On Safari, it feel fast in some places, but there are still many Janks. And no anywhere near as good as the App Experience. Especially in Scrolling and Lots of Imaging.
