[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1760918, member: 110816"] No, Apple does not force you to do any of that and surely doesn't restrict access to force people to use their apps. Since Safari is designed by Apple, they might have an advantage on leveraging the OS' capabilities more, while Chrome or Firefox or any other browser might not. At the same time, this is more a matter of how the app is written as opposed to OS X favoring one app over the other. I use Chrome and Opera at the same time and my system doesn't overheat in any way. With browser, the sites you are visiting also matter. iCloud messages can be accessed through any IMAP compliant application since they use the standard there, so Airmail, Spark or any other 3rd party client should have no issues. Apple did recently force 2FA on iCloud and thus requires app-specific passwords for clients like Airmail to access iCloud Mail.
