Firefox. I switched recently since Chrome was set on using every resource on my computer.

I tried using Safari multiple times, but I run back to Firefox every time.

[–] MagikarpeDiem@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Firefox mostly. Safari for things that don’t load right on Firefox. Chrome for work (mandatory for my job).

I've been using Orion for months and I love it so much

[–] Michel@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] skullvalanche@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Wow. Thanks for mentioning this.

I wish there were some sort of bonus thank you points on Lemmy. I guess I'll just give you a 🍟

[–] MrCyan@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

Same. Also, it’s very good.

[–] Theradox@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

I just use Safari, same on my phone. Makes it easier to use the same thing and I like the password manager and SMS auto fill.

[–] plazman30@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year 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.

Firefox, it's the only way 🫡

[–] mercano@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Chrome for work. As a web dev, it's our primary target. Firefox for personal stuff, just to keep the logins separated, plus, I've been using Firefox as my primary browser since the mid '00s; creature of habit, at this point.

Firefox for extension, safari for everything else including sync, performance, battery life, ...

[–] beepaboopa@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Pseudolus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Waterfox at the moment. It reduces some of the telemetry in vanilla Firefox, it's fast, and it's very stable. I refuse to install or use anything Chrome-based on my Mac. If I need (for some reason) to use Chrome, I use my work laptop for that.

Firefox is my choice. Can’t live without sync and I use quite a few extensions that can’t be found in other browsers.

[–] Malin@omg.qa 3 points 1 year ago

Went for Arc and do not want to go back to anything else. I avoided using Safari, hated it just as much as I hated IE and Edge afterwards.

[–] andrew@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

TIL I need to try this Arc thing out... but for now I use Brave, synced across all of my devices, perfection.

[–] Spacecraft@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Arc. I am a big fan of Stack Next too, but it's still too far out in development to be a daily driver.

[–] 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.

[–] nieceandtows@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Firefox has been good to me, because I use linux as well, and its sync cross platform capabilities is very useful.

[–] 1dot0@u.fail 2 points 1 year ago

For me Firefox containers are the killer app - one for each persona... though they don't sync well across platforms.

[–] synthclair@lemmy.ga-ch.com 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, I was also using firefox before mac, so using it there was a no brainer.

[–] Luxsidus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago
[–] 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.

[–] homeomorphism@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago
[–] rimlogger@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I used Microsoft Edge when I had a Mac.

[–] RandomAndy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] good_hunter@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

A hardened Firefox fork, librefox

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

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

[–] sinistrelle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Safari and Edge. I need to use Edge because I have several non-Apple devices so synchronisation presents a problem.

[–] RagingSnarkasm@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Trying out Arc and liking it so far.

[–] bobtheowl2@kbin.social 1 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).

[–] thoralf@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] malloc@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Safari — mostly for the password manager, sms short codes auto entry, and privacy oriented features

Currently using Vivaldi

[–] jerrimu@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I only use Firefox on desktop

[–] Oobleck@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] supermurs@suppo.fi 1 points 1 year ago

I use Firefox on all platforms.

[–] LowHangingFruit@laguna.chat 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] sprl@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] gds@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

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!

[–] zelet@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

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