Brave with uBlock Origin, AdGuard AdBlocker and Bitwarden.

[–] ansik@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] holo_nexus@kbin.social 2 points 1 year 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!

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.

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

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

[–] 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.

[–] 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.

[–] 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).

[–] 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)

[–] gds@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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!

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.

[–] 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.

[–] cffntd@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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

[–] cianmor@kbin.social 1 points 1 year 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.

[–] DeepChill@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

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

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

Mostly Brave. I LOVE it's adblocking and overall privacy. I'd probably just use Safari if it blocked as well though.

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

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

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

80% Firefox nightly 10% Chrome and 10% Ferdium

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

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.

[–] birdbird@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] 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.

[–] 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.

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

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.

[–] Gabe@kbin.social 1 points 1 year 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.

Currently using Vivaldi

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

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

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

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

[–] 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.

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

Firefox on my personal machine and chrome on my work machine.

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

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.

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

I use Firefox because it lets me use Tampermonkey, and because I also use a Windows PC for gaming.

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

Vivaldi for most things, hardened Firefox for private browsing, tor for sensitive searches

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

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

[–] smokedtofu@kbin.social 1 points 1 year 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.

[–] snarfvsmaximvs@kbin.social 1 points 1 year 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.

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

DuckDuckGo for Mac.

[–] cianmor@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 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).

[–] 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.
