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!

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
Brave with uBlock Origin, AdGuard AdBlocker and Bitwarden.
Firefox works very well on my Mac. That's the one I use
Safari
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 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.

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.
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.
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 is my choice. Can’t live without sync and I use quite a few extensions that can’t be found in other browsers.
Safari for personal use and Opera (chromium) for work (webdevelopment).
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.
@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 because of its wide variety of addons and cause I sync between a Windows PC
Firefox. I love it’s dev tools and Mozilla has the internets back.
Safari.
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. Power consumption is incredibly small.

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 on MacOS. I really believe in Mozilla as a company. uBlock Origin is one of the better ad blockers you can find. Safari is a bit easier on battery life though.
Arc for me too (previously Firefox) - really been enjoying the experience
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.
Firefox and Safari.
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.

Safari for anything personal (for easy sync with my other devices), and Edge for work stuff. Safari meets all my basic needs in a browser, and iCloud Keychain has been great.
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.
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
Firefox. I'm trying out Arc Browser but it's been so sluggish.
