Safari and Firefox. I use Brave on my iPad, but I'm trying to keep my Chromium based browsing down.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Brave (Firefox, Chrome, Edge, etc) does not use chromium on iOS or iPadOS but rather WebKit just like Safari. It is a restriction that does not exist on macOS where you can have different browser engines.

I'm using Safari
It looks good, feels fast (although I haven't done much comparison). But tab-groups connected to focus mode really seals the deal for me.
The one thing I do wish for is more extensions, but most of the key ones I need are fortunately available.

Brave with uBlock Origin, AdGuard AdBlocker and Bitwarden.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The new Edge browser is a modified version of Chrome, so more Google than MS.

All Safari for me. Keeps iPhone, iPad and Mac experience the same and syncs everything perfectly.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years 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

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!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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

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).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I used Microsoft Edge when I had a Mac.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Firefox and Safari.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I'm using edge on a MacBook that I have.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

DuckDuckGo for Mac.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Chrome for personal use, Brave for work. I used to use Firefox but I need tab groups and I'd prefer a native solution for that. Simple Tab Groups seems unstable.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Firefox on Linux machines at home. Mostly Chrome for work on the MacBook because the employer uses Google for everything.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I use Firefox with uBlock Origin. Not as nice on the battery as Safari or Brave, but I've always liked and preferred Firefox.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years 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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I switch the OS I’m using constantly, so I use Firefox cause of its pretty nice syncing features and pretty nice dev tools. Though, I have to use Chrome or some flavor of it for testing.

I actually really like Safari and its syncing within the ecosystem is quite handy, but I mostly need something that’s as good on Windows as it is MacOS.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Firefox. I'm trying out Arc Browser but it's been so sluggish.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

80% Firefox nightly 10% Chrome and 10% Ferdium

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago
