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

For me Firefox containers are the killer app - one for each persona... though they don't sync well across platforms.
Yes, I was also using firefox before mac, so using it there was a no brainer.
Firefox, it's the only way 🫡
I’m a sucker for the iCloud integration so I still use Safari.
Same. Also, it’s very good.

Trying out Arc and liking it so far.
Firefox.
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.
Firefox!
Firefox. I switched recently since Chrome was set on using every resource on my computer.
Safari
Firefox mostly. Safari for things that don’t load right on Firefox. Chrome for work (mandatory for my job).
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.
All Safari for me
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
What user-script are you using on safari?
Mostly Firefox since it has great crossplatform support and is open-source. But I do occasionally use Safari/Chrome/Opera
I only use Firefox on desktop
Firefox Nightly..run it on macOS, FreeBSD and my android phone
Firefox for extension, safari for everything else including sync, performance, battery life, ...
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
A hardened Firefox fork, librefox
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.
If you're looking for a chrome-adjacent experience but with way more flexibility, I've been really enjoying Vivaldi over brave
DuckDuckGo and their Bitwarden integration is great. Arc is also interesting.
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.
Firefox is my choice. Can’t live without sync and I use quite a few extensions that can’t be found in other browsers.
I use Firefox on all platforms.
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.
Currently alternating between LibreWolf and Brave. I tried Safari when I first got my Mac but it sucks.
TIL I need to try this Arc thing out... but for now I use Brave, synced across all of my devices, perfection.
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
Arc. I am a big fan of Stack Next too, but it's still too far out in development to be a daily driver.
I used Microsoft Edge when I had a Mac.
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).
Mostly Brave. I LOVE it's adblocking and overall privacy. I'd probably just use Safari if it blocked as well though.

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

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