@bentossell I use Safari primarily for YouTube and HTML5 video sites. Chrome on Mac takes up too much CPU when playing a 40-vid YouTube playlist in the background (ironic, I know!).
I do prefer Chrome over Safari for day to day use because my history is on there already and the # of extensions is a lot more
The biggest change isn't mentioned in the release notes... support for Apple Pay!
Release notes for Safari 10, which is included in macOS Sierra:
The Safari 10 update is recommended for all 03 X El Capitan users and contains improvements to privacy, compatibility, and security. This update:
• Adds support for Safari Extensions from the Mac App Store
• Displays HTML5 video whenever available for faster load times, better battery life, and stronger security
• Enhances security by running plug-ins only on websites you authorize
• Improves AutoFill and adds support for auto-filling information from any contact in Contacts
• Enhances the formatting in Reader view
• Remembers zoom level for each website users visit
For detailed information on the security content of this update, please visit: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1222.
@chrismessina from my perspective, this is the most important feature they have released in years. It could change the $1.6 Trillion e-commerce industry.
Recently, I wrote a post about @Adyen the Payments company behind the global expansion of Facebook, Uber, Spotify, Netflix, Evernote, SurveyMonkey and many more. The topic of the post is why every company must use Adyen as its Growth Hack to conquer the world through payments, and one of the key reasons is its support for Apple Pay.

Safari on the Mac is better than Chrome with regard to batter life and of course integration but if you rely on Chrome extension or do development Chrome's Web Inspector is hard to beat.
very poor extension store and APIs. I'm using Chrome because of the extensions. Also, having favicons in tabs helps finding them faster. Developer tools are also waay better on Chrome.
Safari is still not there in terms of UX.
If Safari supported separate identities per browser window, I'd be there. I find Safari much less of a memory hog than Chrome.
Another awesome feature: if you click the back button on a page which has just opened in a new tab, the tab is automatically closed again!
I would like to use it, but I can't without the favicons. If you have a few tabs open (and you don't need a lot), it's a mess to navigate.
