You can replace Chrome with what? If you try to use Firefox tons of recaptchas would be triggered for the crime of not using Chrome and even clicking on second or third page on Google search results will trigger anti-bot response. YouTube will start acting funny, too.

I'm using Firefox with some pretty paranoid privacy settings and I actually didn't have all that many problems with recaptcha recently. I agree that it was pretty bad for a while though.
Yes, but that's only Google. Remember, that Firefox (and Chrome) have beaten inertia where you had default browser shoved into your face at every step. It still worked.
Meanwhile, Apple decided to prevent anything like that happening from the start.
Not really. Chrome is closer to Safari, since it uses Blink, which is a fork of WebKit (which in turn is a fork of KHTML used in Konqueror). Firefox uses Gecko, which comes from Netscape.
Safari on the other hand... You're not even allowed to replace it with an open source browser.
