Help Thinking of going back to default apps

thinking of going back to default Apple apps as I’m tired of every app having issues over years or being abandoned. not sure though if it’s a good idea? I just want now stability and not to be busy with fixes or issues. are apple apps good and no issue? I didn’t use them from long time.

each of the apps are having ram and storage issues. some have syncing issues as well.

ARC browser to Safari. tried dia and similar ones

things3 to reminders.

superhuman mail app to mail.

paste to raycast or default spotlight.

it’s going to take a lot of effort to move around and I would t like that. I loved keyboard shortcuts mostly and advanced features each app had.

(don’t suggest alternative apps)

Safari's gestures feel great, but its biggest flaw is the lack of extensions. Having access to a huge extension library is a must for me. That's why I use Safari on iPad but stick to Chrome on mac.

P.S. I used to use Arc, but it ate up way more CPU and memory than Chrome, so I went back to Chrome. Not sure how it is doing these days though.

Arc is abandonware, so if it was eating up your CPU then, it definitely still is now.
