Firefox has been good to me, because I use linux as well, and its sync cross platform capabilities is very useful.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

For me Firefox containers are the killer app - one for each persona... though they don't sync well across platforms.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yes, I was also using firefox before mac, so using it there was a no brainer.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

Firefox, it's the only way 🫡

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m a sucker for the iCloud integration so I still use Safari.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Same. Also, it’s very good.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Trying out Arc and liking it so far.

Firefox. I switched recently since Chrome was set on using every resource on my computer.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Orion. As good as Safari, but works with Firefox and Chrome Extensions.

I tried using Safari multiple times, but I run back to Firefox every time.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Firefox mostly. Safari for things that don’t load right on Firefox. Chrome for work (mandatory for my job).

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Mostly Firefox since it has great crossplatform support and is open-source. But I do occasionally use Safari/Chrome/Opera

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

All Safari for me

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

A hardened Firefox fork, librefox

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I like safari, but use firefox so the sync works with between Mac, iPhone, FreeBSD Desktop, and Work Windows Laptop.

[–] DeepChill 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I just use Safari, same on my phone. Makes it easier to use the same thing and I like the password manager and SMS auto fill.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I use Firefox, because of Firefox containers and total cookie protection.

But with Safari adding profiles to the next version, I will need to revisit Safari again.

Firefox Nightly..run it on macOS, FreeBSD and my android phone

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

DuckDuckGo and their Bitwarden integration is great. Arc is also interesting.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I only use Firefox on desktop

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Arc is amazing

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Safari mostly. I prefer the incredibly minimal UI and iCloud integration. With some Userscripts and an adblocker like Wipr it's smooth sailing.

As a backup I use Firefox modified to look like Safari: Safari Firefox Mod - https://github.com/AdamXweb/WhiteSurFirefoxThemeMacOS

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

What user-script are you using on safari?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Chrome for work. As a web dev, it's our primary target. Firefox for personal stuff, just to keep the logins separated, plus, I've been using Firefox as my primary browser since the mid '00s; creature of habit, at this point.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Waterfox at the moment. It reduces some of the telemetry in vanilla Firefox, it's fast, and it's very stable. I refuse to install or use anything Chrome-based on my Mac. If I need (for some reason) to use Chrome, I use my work laptop for that.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

If you're looking for a chrome-adjacent experience but with way more flexibility, I've been really enjoying Vivaldi over brave

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Brave pretty much all the time as I work on Mac and Windows, and use iPhone but also have a couple of old Android tablets. It all just syncs, no ads and no adblockers needed

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

When it comes to personal stuff I only use Firefox, regardless of device. But as a web developer I end up having to use them all at various times, and Safari isn't too bad.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Firefox for extension, safari for everything else including sync, performance, battery life, ...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Went for Arc and do not want to go back to anything else. I avoided using Safari, hated it just as much as I hated IE and Edge afterwards.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Arc! I love it so much. Vertical tabs and spaces are game changers for me. Also little things like external links opening in a “little arc” window, certain links on the web not opening as full tabs, and having a hotkey to search from anywhere are such nice QoL improvements.

Wish it wasn’t a chromium browser, but the pros it provides in features far outweighs the cons of using chromium (for me).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

+1 for Arc!

Vivaldi mostly

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Arc. I am a big fan of Stack Next too, but it's still too far out in development to be a daily driver.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Arc is great - i've really been loving it so far. https://arc.net/

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

TIL I need to try this Arc thing out... but for now I use Brave, synced across all of my devices, perfection.

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

I'm using Safari
It looks good, feels fast (although I haven't done much comparison). But tab-groups connected to focus mode really seals the deal for me.
The one thing I do wish for is more extensions, but most of the key ones I need are fortunately available.

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

I use Safari for personal browsing and Chrome for work (internal corporate stuff)

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

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 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Brave with uBlock Origin, AdGuard AdBlocker and Bitwarden.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year 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).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year 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!
