Does anybody still use Safari as their main browser ?
 
I'm using Edge, useful for cross syncing with my main Windows machine.
Also, my mac is on High Sierra, which doesn't get the latest Safari anyway.

My main and only browser. I have used Safari since the beginning and have no complaints. It is stable and does what I need it to do. I used to keep a copy of Firefox as well, but after months of never using it saw no need. Same with Chrome. I am a home user and do not ru na business or anything like that, but for my purposes Safari is just fine.

Prior to retirement I had to use Internet Explorer for years at work. That was a nightmare I have no desire to relive.
 
Just search for "web browser usage" on your favorite search engine. There are sites that track web browser marketshare.

I assure you that there are some people who still use Safari.
 
Another Safari user here (have been one since version 0.8 public beta). It's always been an excellent browser for the most part, very solid software & well-integrated with Mac OS X/macOS, and fast.
 
It is my daily driver but I have Firefox as a backup as a couple of sites just don't seem to play nice with Safari. Other then those issues, I always seem to come back after testing the water somewhere else.
 
I use both Firefox and Safari but Firfox is my primary browser. I find that it works better on Mojave than safari, which has trouble scrolling down pages on some sites. I have no idea why.
