Safari vs. Edge/Chromium
I'm running Safari and Edge (latest versions of both) on a 2019 MBP 16. In my opinion, Edge seems slightly faster for general browsing, but the UI (especially settings, contextual menus, print dialog) is horribly ugly due to its non-native UI elements, and I've had some formatting issues when printing from Edge (even via the system dialog, which doesn't show the normal preview). On Safari, I've had occasional quirks where pages would load, briefly flash the contents in the window, and then the window would go blank (all white) and the page never does display so that it's usable.
With respect to YouTube: When I clear all cache and history from both browsers, load youtube.com, and then search for a channel, I almost always get better results in Edge. Most often, the channel itself will pop up as the top hit, whereas on Safari, top hits are usually some videos from the channel or even videos from other channels vaguely matching the search, and have to scroll down the page to find the actual channel.
When I play videos from a particular channel, Edge's standard in-browser window is both larger and will often auto-negotiate a higher resolution (i.e. Auto 720p, Auto 1080p) than Safari--of course, I can change the playback resolution manually in Safari, but it often auto-negotiates lower.
I assume the YouTube behavior is because Google's Chromium works better with Google's YouTube, but is this the bottom line or is there something I can do to get Safari to duplicate this behavior?
