Is Safari a botnet?

So, Safari is a lot snappier than Firefox, and unlike Google, Apple isn't in the business of selling ads, so they have little reason to track me without my knowledge. I'm aware that you can save browser history and bookmarks between devices with Safari, but if you disable those features, wouldn't it be reasonably safe?

Unless you built your processor on an FPGA board you're already in the botnet. That "software will save us from mass surveillance" thing is just a meme to distract us from important things.

No matter whether features are enabled or disabled, there is no reason you wouldn't be safe with Safari, but I'll let /g/ complete or contradict this statement.

Your ISP can track you either way, Apple privacy policy isn't as bad as Microsoft's or Google's.
Safari is a good browser overall and I use it as my main. The only feature I really wish it had was webm playback. It's not a very common format outside of imageboards but still annoying to have to download webms and play them in mpv.

Safari is a botnet. Chrome is a botnet. Firefox is a botnet. macOS is a botnet. Windows is a botnet. Linux is a botnet. Everything's a fucking botnet.

Vlc plugin bro. You don't even need to have that shit vlc installed as the plugin is standalone. Drawback though, it doesn't load the webms inline, you have to open e.g. in a new tab.

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
