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

[–] Mpeach45@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Same. Also, it’s very good.

[–] sillyhatsonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 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.

[–] aarioch@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

All Safari for me

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

[–] plazman30@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years 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.

Vivaldi mostly

[–] zumi 1 points 2 years ago

Safari. Power consumption is incredibly small.

[–] supermurs@suppo.fi 1 points 2 years ago

I use Firefox on all platforms.

[–] Michel@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

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!

[–] LowHangingFruit@laguna.chat 1 points 2 years ago

I use safari. It’s smooth, minimalistic and I like the integration with iPhone.

[–] zelet@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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

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

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 1 points 2 years 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.

Firefox, although also looking for a very lightweight privacy friendly browser.

[–] Pekka@feddit.nl 0 points 2 years ago

I use Microsoft Edge, Firefox and Safari. I like using a browser that is very similar to Chrome, but I rather avoid Chrome. Edge was also forced for using Bing chat for some time. Safari is fine, but you can't use all the plugins that are available for other browsers, and that is a bit annoying.

I used Firefox a lot before, but some websites that I used had some annoying bugs. I'm also a bit more used to the dev tools of Edge. Of course, I test websites that I build on all 3 browsers, and often have more than one open at the same time.

[–] Deemo@lemmy.fmhy.ml 0 points 2 years ago

80% Firefox nightly 10% Chrome and 10% Ferdium

[–] ActuallyAsh@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago

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

[–] cavalleto@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Brave with uBlock Origin, AdGuard AdBlocker and Bitwarden.

[–] TheLazurus@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] m3enzo@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago

Firefox. I'm trying out Arc Browser but it's been so sluggish.

[–] S4nvers@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[–] EmboarrocksPK@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Awhiskeydrunker@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago

Firefox but currently exploring Orion + Kagi search to see if I am going to switch. Heard about Kagi on kbin and it seems awesome so far.

[–] jefff@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

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

[–] jadrien1@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago

I'm using edge on a MacBook that I have.

[–] Parallax@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] NeXTSTEPER@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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

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.

Firefox because of its wide variety of addons and cause I sync between a Windows PC

[–] exohuman@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago

Firefox. I love it’s dev tools and Mozilla has the internets back.

[–] ansik@kbin.social 0 points 2 years 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.

[–] cianmor@sh.itjust.works 0 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).

[–] KillaBeez@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago
[–] Lurkert@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago

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

[–] DeepChill@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago

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

[–] RagingSnarkasm@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Trying out Arc and liking it so far.

[–] GxC@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago

Firefox and Safari.

[–] srenslow@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago

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