Choice

Websites also use it to interact with and change tweaks on hardware musical instruments.
Safari doesn’t support WebMIDI on any platform, full stop.
On the Mac, it’s possible for you to just fire up Chrome when you need it.

Another is thatChrome is disrespectful of your privacycompared to Safari.
However,Apple will mitigate the privacy and security anglesthrough some strict rules that apply to third-party browsers.
There are also plenty of requirements for app features.
