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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Add me to the Arc group. Absolutely the best and most game changing app I’ve used in years.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Currently using Vivaldi

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Firefox and Tor browser.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

@rebiots Firefox for Mac, Safari for iOS.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Mostly Brave for daily browsing. But for work, I use Microsoft Edge.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You don’t need an invite for arc. Just go download it. I think i used homebrew to get it without an invite

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

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!
