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.
I'm using edge on a MacBook that I have.
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.
@rebiots was on chrome for a bit but went back to Safari for the ecosystem features but leaning towards doing a Safari/Firefox split
Chrome and Firefox but I really want to switch to just Firefox. I wish Firefox had multi user accounts and tab grouping since I rely on those two features all the time.
Safari.
Firefox. I'm trying out Arc Browser but it's been so sluggish.
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.
Firefox. I love it’s dev tools and Mozilla has the internets back.
Firefox and Safari.
Safari for personal use and Opera (chromium) for work (webdevelopment).
Firefox because of its wide variety of addons and cause I sync between a Windows PC
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?
Arc for me too (previously Firefox) - really been enjoying the experience
I use Microsoft Edge, Firefox and Safari. I like using a browser that is very similar to Chrome, but I rather avoid Chrome. Edge was also forced for using Bing chat for some time. Safari is fine, but you can't use all the plugins that are available for other browsers, and that is a bit annoying.
I used Firefox a lot before, but some websites that I used had some annoying bugs. I'm also a bit more used to the dev tools of Edge. Of course, I test websites that I build on all 3 browsers, and often have more than one open at the same time.
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.
I use safari. It’s smooth, minimalistic and I like the integration with iPhone.
Firefox, although also looking for a very lightweight privacy friendly browser.
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.
Safari
Firefox and Tor browser.
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
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).

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.
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!
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.
Firefox Nightly..run it on macOS, FreeBSD and my android phone
