When I switched to Safari, I couldn’t find a comparable extension of the Chrome counterparts. To name a few, I use uBlock origin, Hoverzoom+, and Stayfocusd to streamline my workflow.

This is one of the reasons Safari lags behind because creating and implementing an extension is much easier on Chrome than it is on Safari. Right off the bat, Chrome has the best extensions of the two. Safari comes installed on macOS 12 Monterey and Google Chrome 91. I’ll be comparing the latest versions of both web browsers as these were the ones I used while testing. Let’s see how Safari compares with Chrome on MacBook. That’s why I did a point-by-point comparison and boiled down my thoughts into the following points below. However, I decided to switch to Safari to answer this simple question - how hard it really is to quit Google Chrome? The short answer is - very. Whether I use a Mac or Windows, I need Chrome and its many services to execute my workflow. If you’re using a 32-bit version of Windows, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Policies instead.Chrome has been my choice of desktop web browser for a while now.

In the Register Editor window, drill down to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > WOW6432Node > Policies if you’re using a 64-bit version of Windows. To open the Registry Editor, hit Start, type “regedit” in the search box, and press Enter.

That being said, if you’ve never worked with it before, consider reading about how to use the Registry Editor before you get started. This is a pretty simple hack, and you shouldn’t have any problems as long as you stick to the instructions. Here’s our standard warning: The Registry Editor is a powerful tool, and misusing it can render your system unstable or even inoperable. (If you have Pro or Enterprise, though, we recommend using the easier Group Policy Editor as described below.)

You can also do it this way if you have Windows Pro or Enterprise but just feel more comfortable working in the Registry instead of the Group Policy Editor. If you have Windows 10 Home, you’ll have to edit the Windows Registry to make this change.
