I’ve been trying to use Safari for work for the past month. I feel like I kept running into walls. Lack of extensions was a big thing.

One of the things that annoyed me the most, was that if you put YouTube videos in 2x speed it distorts the audio (sounds metallic and inside a box) whereas setting in 2x on Chrome doesn’t give the same distortion.

I don’t think that’s a good idea. If anything we should have less legislation around software. As long as the operating systems providers do not have a monopoly - and are not actively blocking the use of other software, I don’t see why we need to have our politicians and lawmakers involved.
