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!

[-] ActuallyAsh@kbin.social 2 points 1 year 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

Brave with uBlock Origin, AdGuard AdBlocker and Bitwarden.

[-] EmboarrocksPK@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

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

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.

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.

[-] zelet@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] Mpeach45@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] bobtheowl2@kbin.social 2 points 1 year 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).

[-] kylewritescode@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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.

[-] Appdelivery@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] RandomAndy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Arc! No plans of going back!

[-] hayek@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

I am also amazed by how often they release new features to Arc. I can really recommend to try it out.

[-] postman@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Tried Arc. Was fun for 6 months as different but just went back to Safari as it at least just works.

[-] jacktherippah@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Currently alternating between LibreWolf and Brave. I tried Safari when I first got my Mac but it sucks.

[-] fernfrost@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Safari for regular use and Brave for anonymous / testing stuff (science)

[-] sillyhatsonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year 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.

[-] Oobleck 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] burningmatches@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Same. I like Edge's tab groups and collections, and it obviously works well with Google Docs etc, which I need to use for work. And then Firefox for most everything else because it's not evil and has better add-ons than Safari.

Also... I like to use bookmark folders on the toolbar and Safari's implementation of that is stupid.

[-] Lurkert@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] HalcyonReverb@midwest.social 1 points 1 year 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.

[-] megapenguinx@social.linux.pizza 1 points 1 year ago

@rebiots was on chrome for a bit but went back to Safari for the ecosystem features but leaning towards doing a Safari/Firefox split

[-] blahaj@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] exohuman@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] cianmor@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year 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).

[-] saegiru@kbin.social 1 points 1 year 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.

[-] zaktmt@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] sprl@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] MicroWave@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Firefox as my main, Edge for shopping promo codes, and Safari for Apple Pay payments.

[-] kratoz29@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year 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.

[-] srenslow@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Pucky_B@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] GxC@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Firefox and Safari.

[-] brandonsh@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Stylus2650@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Dietlama@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

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