I am heavily into the Apple ecosystem. My whole life is on Apple’s platform. So, I use Safari. I do though, have Arc, Vivaldi, Edge, and Chrome installed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I find myself using Brave for most things currently but I do still use Firefox. I usually end up switching my primary between the two every couple of months.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Arc is wonderful once it 'clicks', but may feel slightly weird at first. I've been using it everyday since I got the invite (switched from FF).

99% Brave 1% Safari for me. Mostly Brave for cross platform sync.

Firefox. Adblocking options aren't that good in Safari, Chrome is soon to ruin adblockers, and I trust Mozilla's intentions more than I do Brave's.

Firefox is awesome now, you should try it!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Brave with uBlock Origin, AdGuard AdBlocker and Bitwarden.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Mostly Brave. I LOVE it's adblocking and overall privacy. I'd probably just use Safari if it blocked as well though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Safari most of the time. Occasionally Edge when I need to test things. It's pretty wild that I can run a Microsoft browser on macOS. Hasn't been that way since the 90s. :D

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The new Edge browser is a modified version of Chrome, so more Google than MS.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

That's true, and it's been a couple years since the fork, so I consider it to be a Microsoft product moreso than a Google product even though the underlying engine is the same.

Brave is beautiful and I love it a lot! I used it as my main browser for a couple of years and still use it as an alt to firefox, which is now my main :))

I use ffox for syncing & the mobile experience while I continue to use Brave for the dedicated user profiles :D

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Firefox for work related stuff. Safari for personal browsing/logging into services (run credentials through keychain).

As others have said, Firefox & Ublock for the win!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I used Microsoft Edge when I had a Mac.

Tried Arc. Was fun for 6 months as different but just went back to Safari as it at least just works.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Firefox works very well on my Mac. That's the one I use

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Currently alternating between LibreWolf and Brave. I tried Safari when I first got my Mac but it sucks.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

All Safari for me. Keeps iPhone, iPad and Mac experience the same and syncs everything perfectly.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Arc! No plans of going back!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I am also amazed by how often they release new features to Arc. I can really recommend to try it out.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Safari and Firefox. I use Brave on my iPad, but I'm trying to keep my Chromium based browsing down.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Brave (Firefox, Chrome, Edge, etc) does not use chromium on iOS or iPadOS but rather WebKit just like Safari. It is a restriction that does not exist on macOS where you can have different browser engines.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I have an old Mac (RMBP 2014) and I really want to like Safari, but the fact that it feels slower than Chrome and that I don't have an iPhone anymore really makes it more difficult.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I'm using edge on a MacBook that I have.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I use Arc for the majority of my online life but Chrome for my Genealogy because the BrainTool extension only behaves as I would like in Chrome and it is a fantastic extension for managing all the elements of my research.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I use Microsoft Edge, Firefox and Safari. I like using a browser that is very similar to Chrome, but I rather avoid Chrome. Edge was also forced for using Bing chat for some time. Safari is fine, but you can't use all the plugins that are available for other browsers, and that is a bit annoying.

I used Firefox a lot before, but some websites that I used had some annoying bugs. I'm also a bit more used to the dev tools of Edge. Of course, I test websites that I build on all 3 browsers, and often have more than one open at the same time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Tried Arc for a while, really enjoyed it but right now I'm using Edge (just as a test of the MacOS version). Used Orion in the past and liked it but I'm waiting for some updates before I commit to it full time (extension API still being worked on, no auto updates for extensions, etc). I've basically used them all at one point or another.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Brave for web browsing, Safari for video streaming. As far as I know, Edge on Windows and Safari on Mac will stream in the best quality possible due to DRM/codecs. Supposedly Safari uses less battery streaming video on Mac too.

Firefox and sometimes Safari. Since I also have a Windows machine I like to use the same browser on both devices. And I don‘t like giving more data to Google by using Chrome. They know enough about me already

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Safari for personal use and Opera (chromium) for work (webdevelopment).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Firefox but currently exploring Orion + Kagi search to see if I am going to switch. Heard about Kagi on kbin and it seems awesome so far.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Firefox. I'm trying out Arc Browser but it's been so sluggish.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Vivaldi for most things, hardened Firefox for private browsing, tor for sensitive searches

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Safari (with Wipr), and for work Firefox (with ublock origin) because of compartmentalization and because MS Teams works (in Safari you need to disable cross-site tracking which I don't want to).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Firefox on my personal machine and chrome on my work machine.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Firefox. I love it’s dev tools and Mozilla has the internets back.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Firefox on MacOS. I really believe in Mozilla as a company. uBlock Origin is one of the better ad blockers you can find. Safari is a bit easier on battery life though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I use Firefox with uBlock Origin. Not as nice on the battery as Safari or Brave, but I've always liked and preferred Firefox.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Safari for anything personal (for easy sync with my other devices), and Edge for work stuff. Safari meets all my basic needs in a browser, and iCloud Keychain has been great.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Firefox and Safari.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Firefox because of its wide variety of addons and cause I sync between a Windows PC

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I am stuck on Edge on everything. The vertical tab implementation on Edge for me outdoes anything else. I can't go back and no addons do the same.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I use Arc and Firefox. Arc is fun and daring, so I'm curious where it goes. I especially like their Spaces, which makes it simple to separate different contexts (e.g. work, personal, entertainment). Not only by cache and cookies, but also visually.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I use Firefox because it lets me use Tampermonkey, and because I also use a Windows PC for gaming.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Chrome for personal use, Brave for work. I used to use Firefox but I need tab groups and I'd prefer a native solution for that. Simple Tab Groups seems unstable.
