Pros
Pro Integrates with Apple Pay and Keychain
More "just works" things that are even better the more into the ecosystem they are. (eg: +iPhone, +iPad).
Know any positive aspects of this option?
Cons
Con Proprietary
While Safari er is currently available gratis (without monetary charge) on Mac OS X, it is currently not libre (meaning that it does not allow users to view the source code used to create, to modify that code, or to redistribute modifications) and is therefore neither free nor open-source software.
Know any negative aspects of this option?
