Just use Firefox

If you want to be sure your stuff works across browsers, test in safari

Don’t support or trust ad companies to deliver technology, their interests are always misaligned with the user

A generation ago people used to say "as long as it works in IE6 then that's all you need, who cares about other browsers"

Now it's Chrome, but it's the same danger.

Safari is arguably the worst browser to do general tests in if you're not making iOS apps, as it has a history of rendering and behaving differently than any other browser.

The dev tools are also unusable compared to Chrome.

I think you misunderstood the GP's comment. They aren't advocating to work with Safari, but to work with Firefox then to test with Safari. If it works in Safari after being developed in Firefox, it's likely to work everywhere.

FWIW I haven't found that to be the case with something as simple as making an image autoresize.

Then you can keep a Chromium-based browser like Brave around for some additional testing, even if it's not your daily driver.

By "any other" you mean Chrome and Firefox?
