We can go right ahead and assume that there are so many Mac users who opt to use Chrome as their browser rather than the Safari that their device came with. We say that with confidence because we’re one of them, and it is a fact that Google’s offering continues to be the de facto choice as a web browser for the majority of people all around the world.
