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

Firefox works very well on my Mac. That's the one I use
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!
Safari
Safari works fine for me
Safari has the best memory and cpu footprint. Kind of annoying to use from a developer standpoint - so many of the FF/Chrome extensions that people rely upon don’t exist.
When I’m just browsing, I use safari. When I’m doing work, it’s FF.
Actually, that’s kind the dividing line for me as well.
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.
I use Firefox on all platforms.
99% Brave 1% Safari for me. Mostly Brave for cross platform sync.
And I’m Safari 99% because I don’t give 2 cookies for cross platform. Lucky me!
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).
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.
I use Safari for personal browsing and Chrome for work (internal corporate stuff)
Arc! No plans of going back!
I am also amazed by how often they release new features to Arc. I can really recommend to try it out.
Tried Arc. Was fun for 6 months as different but just went back to Safari as it at least just works.
I used Microsoft Edge when I had a Mac.
Currently alternating between LibreWolf and Brave. I tried Safari when I first got my Mac but it sucks.
Safari for regular use and Brave for anonymous / testing stuff (science)
Firefox. I'm trying out Arc Browser but it's been so sluggish.
Does anyone else have issues where images copied to the clipboard from Firefox don't paste? They always paste as blank objects for me. Safari and Chrome handle it fine. I would prefer to stick with Firefox if possible.
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.
Safari.
80% Firefox nightly 10% Chrome and 10% Ferdium
I primarily use Linux nowadays, but when I go back to my M1 Macbook Pro, I tend to use Safari. For me it's all about battery life. I'd love to use Firefox, but the battery drain compared to Safari is very noticeable.
I use Firefox because it lets me use Tampermonkey, and because I also use a Windows PC for gaming.
Firefox on my personal machine and chrome on my work machine.
Firefox. I love it’s dev tools and Mozilla has the internets back.
Safari for personal use and Opera (chromium) for work (webdevelopment).
I switch the OS I’m using constantly, so I use Firefox cause of its pretty nice syncing features and pretty nice dev tools. Though, I have to use Chrome or some flavor of it for testing.
I actually really like Safari and its syncing within the ecosystem is quite handy, but I mostly need something that’s as good on Windows as it is MacOS.
I'm using edge on a MacBook that I have.
Edge for work, Firefox for personal. Safari for fun sometimes when I’m bored.
Firefox as my main, Edge for shopping promo codes, and Safari for Apple Pay payments.
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.
Arc for me too (previously Firefox) - really been enjoying the experience
Firefox and Safari.
Mostly Brave for daily browsing. But for work, I use Microsoft Edge.
Add me to the Arc group. Absolutely the best and most game changing app I’ve used in years.
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).
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.
Firefox is my choice. Can’t live without sync and I use quite a few extensions that can’t be found in other browsers.
