Brave with uBlock Origin, AdGuard AdBlocker and Bitwarden.

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

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

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

[–] [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!

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.

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

Actually, that’s kind the dividing line for me as well.

[–] [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

I use Firefox on all platforms.

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

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

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

And I’m Safari 99% because I don’t give 2 cookies for cross platform. Lucky me!

[–] [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).

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

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

[–] [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

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

I used Microsoft Edge when I had a Mac.

[–] [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] 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] [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.

80% Firefox nightly 10% Chrome and 10% Ferdium

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

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.

[–] [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

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.

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

Edge for work, Firefox for personal. Safari for fun sometimes when I’m bored.

[–] [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 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

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

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

[–] [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

Arc for me too (previously Firefox) - really been enjoying the experience

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

Firefox and Safari.

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

Mostly Brave for daily browsing. But for work, I use Microsoft Edge.

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

Add me to the Arc group. Absolutely the best and most game changing app I’ve used in years.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 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

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

Firefox is my choice. Can’t live without sync and I use quite a few extensions that can’t be found in other browsers.
