Sure Safari is free, but is ONLY available on OSX&amp;#x2F;iOS which can only be obtained by purchasing apple devices. This is unlike Chrome, which is free for anyone, across any platform.&lt;p&gt;One of my coworkers once told me he preferred Apple products over any other vendor if only because he believes that by paying higher for apple products, he is paying for the privacy&amp;#x2F;security aspects of having his data secure and personal. I&amp;#x27;m not sure how much this is true, but this datapoint does seem to confirm that theory.</text></comment>
