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

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.
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.
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!
@rebiots was on chrome for a bit but went back to Safari for the ecosystem features but leaning towards doing a Safari/Firefox split
Safari.
80% Firefox nightly 10% Chrome and 10% Ferdium
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.
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.
Add me to the Arc group. Absolutely the best and most game changing app I’ve used in years.
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?
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 — mostly for the password manager, sms short codes auto entry, and privacy oriented features
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 and Tor browser.
Edge for work, Firefox for personal. Safari for fun sometimes when I’m bored.
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.
I use safari. It’s smooth, minimalistic and I like the integration with iPhone.
Mostly Brave for daily browsing. But for work, I use Microsoft Edge.
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
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!
Trying it again... (actually posting from it right now) -- you're right, whatever it was that I encountered last time seems to be gone. yay!
