Firefox is awesome now, you should try it!

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 for work related stuff. Safari for personal browsing/logging into services (run credentials through keychain).
As others have said, Firefox & Ublock for the win!
Currently alternating between LibreWolf and Brave. I tried Safari when I first got my Mac but it sucks.
Mostly Brave. I LOVE it's adblocking and overall privacy. I'd probably just use Safari if it blocked as well though.
Firefox works very well on my Mac. That's the one I use
All Safari for me. Keeps iPhone, iPad and Mac experience the same and syncs everything perfectly.
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
Tried Arc. Was fun for 6 months as different but just went back to Safari as it at least just works.
Safari for regular use and Brave for anonymous / testing stuff (science)
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.
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
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.
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.
Safari
I use Safari for personal browsing and Chrome for work (internal corporate stuff)
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!
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.
@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
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.
Mostly Brave for daily browsing. But for work, I use Microsoft Edge.
I use safari. It’s smooth, minimalistic and I like the integration with iPhone.
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.
Safari and Edge. I need to use Edge because I have several non-Apple devices so synchronisation presents a problem.
80% Firefox nightly 10% Chrome and 10% Ferdium
Firefox and Tor browser.
I was reading comments in this thread about Arc, and I was intrigued and watched a youtube video about it. The thing I don't understand (and I haven't tried Arc yet) is how are the Arc tabs different than just leaving the tab groups expanded on the left in Safari? The UI looks almost identical. Is there a usage model that I've missed?
Safari — mostly for the password manager, sms short codes auto entry, and privacy oriented features
Safari.
Currently using Vivaldi
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.
Firefox, although also looking for a very lightweight privacy friendly browser.
Firefox, or Brave when things don't work on Firefox. Arc looks interesting from this thread and I've requested an invite. I keep an eye on Safari, especially new privacy features regularly being added and supported by Apple - though I'm aware of their privacy policy generally means they protect your privacy from everyone except Apple.
You don’t need an invite for arc. Just go download it. I think i used homebrew to get it without an invite
Got it via Homebrew - thanks for the tip
UPDATE: Opening the app asks for a login, when I enter my email it says not on the Waitlist so I guess they've changed it to require an invite before you can use it.
