Why Browsers Are Essential to the Internet and How OS Are Holding Them Back
One benefit that immediately comes to mind is the ability to protect yourself against a major security flaw in Safari:
https://safarileaks.com/
Apple did issue a fix after a few weeks but with no alternative browser engines the only alternative was “don’t use the web on your iPhone”, which is absurd.
Other user benefits might include better performance, more capabilities (it took Apple years to implement WebRTC, for example) and in general more competition that might spur Safari into becoming a better browser.

Google says Chrome 99 is the fastest web browser available on Mac
Assuming it's not straight up broken once again, like when localStorage was bugged and browser data would get lost last year or when indexedDb was broken und would leak data.

Update for Security?
I researched the Safari vulnerability, and yes, this appears to only affect iOS 15 devices. The message on https://safarileaks.com/ states "Your browser is not affected. Please open this demo in..... any any browser on iOS and iPadOS 15." Good to know!

Is Apple still supporting Safari? Serious question
Are you talking about this? Apple fixed it about a week ago with the release of macOS 12.2.

Can’t Edit Shared Numbers Document
In the past, there were a few (though rare) cases where Apple has even patched unsupported versions. It probably depends on how easy it is for them. But for the most recent problems, like this and that, there are no fixes beyond Catalina.

Netflix Canada Just Got Rid of Its Cheapest Ad-Free Plan Without Even a Heads Up
> But I’m working on setting up a VPN at my house to tunnel all Netflix traffic through ...
On a technical point, you might be able to get away with just using Squid for the proxy, with pretty much default settings.
http://www.squid-cache.org
I used to use that years ago (not with Netflix though) running from a data centre, using an ssh (autossh) tunnel to reach it securely.
Worked pretty well, aside from the extra latency due to the packets having to go an extra half way around the world. ;)

How to get my IP traffic data to an AWS lambda using Darkstat?
I recommend trying a transparent proxy like Squid. There are many analytics tools for Squid logs. Squid can generate TLS certificates on the fly to inspect secure websites but you'll have to generate and install a CA certificate and key into Squid. You'll also have to import the CA certificate on any machine accessing the internet through the Squid proxy. Squid has the added bonus of caching content to speed up web browsing and reduce data usage.

Web resource caching: Server-side
A couple of dedicated server-side resource caching solutions have emerged over the years: Memcached, Varnish, Squid, etc. Other solutions are less focused on web resource caching and more generic, e.g., Redis or Hazelcast.

Why does linux use HTTP to get updates?
Also, the fact it is distributed by HTTP allow companies (and ISPs) to cache content in Squid servers (http://www.squid-cache.org/). And this is quite a feature!

How to monitor web activity on home network
If your router is compatible with custom firmware (Tomato or DD-WRT) you can flash it and use the logging features of those platforms. Otherwise no there isn't really an "app or software" that can do this, you need a piece of hardware that sits between the LAN devices and the internet connection. That can be a full-fledged computer, if you're willing to use it as firewall or router (pfSense), DNS server (PowerDNS) or proxy server (Squid).
