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 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.
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!
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).
+1 for Arc!
Didn’t know but sounds interesting. I keep getting lost between dozens of tabs, it’s annoying.
Arc is amazing
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.
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).
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.
DuckDuckGo for Mac.
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 because of its wide variety of addons and cause I sync between a Windows PC
Edge for work, Firefox for personal. Safari for fun sometimes when I’m bored.
Firefox on Linux machines at home. Mostly Chrome for work on the MacBook because the employer uses Google for everything.
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.
Firefox. I'm trying out Arc Browser but it's been so sluggish.
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 use Brave.
However, sometimes the privacy settings are so good that certain sites don't function as well, especially if there is a pop-up element on a site.
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.
I'm using edge on a MacBook that I have.
Firefox. I love it’s dev tools and Mozilla has the internets back.
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!
@rebiots was on chrome for a bit but went back to Safari for the ecosystem features but leaning towards doing a Safari/Firefox split
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
80% Firefox nightly 10% Chrome and 10% Ferdium
Safari.
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.
Safari is way, way more battery efficient than any other browser. I use Firefox when plugged in but Safari on the go for this reason :-)
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!
Firefox on my personal machine and chrome on my work machine.
Firefox, although also looking for a very lightweight privacy friendly browser.
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).
Brave with uBlock Origin, AdGuard AdBlocker and Bitwarden.
Firefox as my main, Edge for shopping promo codes, and Safari for Apple Pay payments.
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.
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.
Safari for regular use and Brave for anonymous / testing stuff (science)
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.
