Brave and Safari
I used to be a Firefox fanboy. But they don't care for resources and just eat ram and cpu for lunch. So, it is not usable for me, unless I close all tabs all the time - which I don't like.

Brave and Safari
I used to be a Firefox fanboy. But they don't care for resources and just eat ram and cpu for lunch. So, it is not usable for me, unless I close all tabs all the time - which I don't like.
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.
I use safari. It’s smooth, minimalistic and I like the integration with iPhone.
Vivaldi for most things, hardened Firefox for private browsing, tor for sensitive searches
I use Firefox with uBlock Origin. Not as nice on the battery as Safari or Brave, but I've always liked and preferred Firefox.
I primarily use Linux nowadays, but when I go back to my M1 Macbook Pro, I tend to use Safari. For me it's all about battery life. I'd love to use Firefox, but the battery drain compared to Safari is very noticeable.
I use Firefox because it lets me use Tampermonkey, and because I also use a Windows PC for gaming.
Firefox because of its wide variety of addons and cause I sync between a Windows PC
Safari — mostly for the password manager, sms short codes auto entry, and privacy oriented features
Currently using Vivaldi
Firefox, although also looking for a very lightweight privacy friendly browser.
Firefox on my personal machine and chrome on my work machine.
Arc for me too (previously Firefox) - really been enjoying the experience
I use Arc for the majority of my online life but Chrome for my Genealogy because the BrainTool extension only behaves as I would like in Chrome and it is a fantastic extension for managing all the elements of my research.
Safari for personal use and Opera (chromium) for work (webdevelopment).
Firefox and Safari.
Safari.
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.
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 and Edge. I need to use Edge because I have several non-Apple devices so synchronisation presents a problem.
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.
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. I love it’s dev tools and Mozilla has the internets back.
Firefox and Tor browser.
Arc! By far the best browser I’ve used on ANY platform.
I recall downloading Arc — being interested in a fresh take on browser UX, but then being very put-off by the fact that it wanted me to give it my credentials to numerous services.
Maybe I should try it again, but I'm very cautious about signing into Google, Slack, Discord, etc. via a 3rd party app...
But interesting for sure! I started using it around beginning of this year I believe? I’m definitely with you on giving credentials to 3rd parties, so maybe it’s something they got rid of by the time o joined! I’d definitely suggest giving it another go!
Trying it again... (actually posting from it right now) -- you're right, whatever it was that I encountered last time seems to be gone. yay!
I try to use Firefox as much as I can since it's the last rendering engine that isn't owned by Apple or Google.
If Firefox doesn't work I've found Vivaldi to be a nice alternative to Chrome/Edge/Brave.
