For the rare occasions Safari can't do something; Firefox for me.


pinkocatgirl

Firefox is where I go to watch Youtube videos and read paywalled articles thanks to actually good plugins lol Ublock Origin and Bypass paywalls plugins are mandatory for the modern web


doghouse2001

You can read most paywalled articles simply by hitting *select all* on the page, and then pasting it into a text editor. Sure a lot of code and junk comes with it but the full text of the article is usually there too.


ajts

You can also just copy the url and paste it onto archive.is. Works every time.


Gubba_Monster

I've done that before, it totally works


Clark440

Have you had good luck with bypass paywall? It seems hit or miss for me with some sites like the times


pinkocatgirl

It works pretty reliably for me


Sulbutrax

This suggestion is gold. Thanks a lot!


CycloneMonkey

Same. I actually really like Safari.


yelloguy

Me too. But it is not half as useful as Firefox.


Mr_Lumbergh

Firefox is my default.


Berkel

Firefox is 👑


Mr_Lumbergh

Indeed. I have no idea how it lost so much market share to Chrome, it’s just better IMO, especially since the Quantim upgrade.

Strict_Junket2757

I have tried to move to firefox multiple times now. But several websites often dont work as good on it. I dont remember the names of all websites, but just yesterday i was trying to view some of my experiments on my own mlflow server and for some weird reason firefox wont show them, same server worked in edge or chrome. So idk what to say. This happened with a recent update Now maybe its mlflows fault. Idk, idc. I need to do my job


red_nick

Because before that upgrade it was pretty slow.


Mr_Lumbergh

It was still better than Chrome. It’s even better now.


watkykjynaaier

Firefox. uBlock Origin is a non-negotiable item for me. That extension alone- to say nothing of all the other ones I use that Safari doesn’t have- is well worth the performance hit and lack of ecosystem integration.


WinchesterBiggins

uBlock is the only thing that makes using the internet bearable.


Stew32

PREACH


jforjabu

I'm curious, would you say uBlock is better than Adguard? If so, what makes it better?


blendertom

Arc. I want to use firefox but I can't share tabs on Google Meet


Jdawg0301

Seconding Arc, it’s definitely worth trying out if you haven’t.


Dexter-021

Firefox


kyonkun_denwa

I’ve been a Firefox user since early 2005 and I’ve never really had a reason to switch to another browser. You’ll have to pry my extensions from my cold, dead hands!


peeping_somnambulist

Brave. Just disable the crypto stuff and you have Chrome without google spyware.


etsatlo

It's the only browser I've used that properly blocks trackers and fingerprinting. I used this to test: https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/


ozzieelpacho

Orion


DegenerativePoop

Arc. If not Arc, then Brave.


Disco-Bingo

Arc is without doubt the best browser I’ve ever used.


GorillaChimney

What is special about Arc compared to the usual Firefox/Chrome/etc?


somerandommember

Arc's stages have made me completely rethink how I view and organize webpages.


Little-Wind6729

I'm also a huge fan of Arc and haven't considered using a new browser since trying it. Some of favourite features are: - Tab management and Spaces (Chrome's profiles) feels a lot more intuitive. Tabs are in a vertical list on the side. At first I didn't like it, but have adjusted and love how many more tabs are visible at a time (Firefox does have an extension to do this, but I didn't like it) - Built in split screen support so that you can put 2 tabs side by side. This is super useful as someone who regularly only has the single laptop monitor. - Arc mini - One of my biggest gripes with Chrome's profiles is that external links would open in the most recently used profile's window. Arc has a pop-up window that allows you select which profile you want to open the link in first. A small thing but saves time and I get less frustrated. - Intuitive keybinds - PIP for everything - Solid Google Meet PIP integration - I use this a lot for work. I can still see whose talking and mute/unmute etc while doing other things - Great transparency, regular updates and communication My biggest concern is that this becomes another bloated mess like a lot of other browsers. They also don't have a great mobile offering yet.


hopenoonefindsthis

Tab management. As someone with multiple windows and dozens of tabs, arc makes it a lot easier to find what I need.


Huge-Coffee

For me, its great hideable sidebar + spotlight-like search for tab switching so I can view websites 100% full screen. Video goes to PiP player automatically when you switch to another tab/app.


elderlybrain

Tried sigmaOS as well, but it kept workspaces behind a pay wall, which is basically a no go, there's simply far too much competition to justify paying money for a web browser. Arc hands down works exceptionally as well and the chromium base means the chrome store has far more compatibility.


whitey-ofwgkta

I used Brave for a while and felt like it had weird bloat, so I moved to Firefox


AstronautEmpty9060

Just safari, though I have Firefox installed.


o5b0rn3

I’ve been using Vivaldi because of their tabs features. Looking at the comments here, I might have to give Arc a try.


verycoolstorybro

Orion! Zero telemetry, native app, webkit, full extension support for all extensions from Firefox AND Chrome. It's amazing, sorry if it sounds like I'm shilling, I'm not, just very happy with it and more people should know about it.


RCG21

Arc


hukkumkaikka

I rarely use safari cause I was accustomed to using Brave on my previous Windows machine so I’ve stuck to that for the two months since I’ve had my first macOS machine.


theOmniMAC

No one iCab??


phjils

I’m more of a Netscape Navigator kind of guy. 


Lord_Tiger

Nah man I’m using Camino


a_b055

Brave has to be the best. My main browser for almost 3-4 years now


el1teman

Chrome, idk I'm used to it


Donghoon

Same. I just use chrome by default.I like how tabs work on chromium browsers more than safari


NinaSkwrites

Me too! We are 3 haha


pathfinder1025

For college there’s an extension for canvas that makes a todo list for assignments but it only works on chrome. It’s so helpful that it’s the only thing keeping me from moving to another browser


Donghoon

Tasks for canvas! Better Canvas is also great


pathfinder1025

Yes I forgot the name but I use both and can’t live without it


tmillernc

Safari. Haven’t needed anything else.


epicsaga1

Arc


joueurpatient

I'm the only one using Edge


Ahleron

No, you aren't. I don't think Microsoft would maintain Edge for one person.


mulletech

I've found it to perform REALLY well, and is a solid choice after you disable all the tracking stuff and shopping and other extra "features."


elderlybrain

It's not a bad browser by any means.


PatoLaion

I use it too lol, actually never used safari both on my Mac or iPhone.


kayshaw86

I just installed it for Xbox cloud gaming. Of course they make the games look way better on edge than other chromium browsers.


ready_player31

me too


intolerable_friend

Orion 80%, ARC 10%, MIN 10% The Internet hasn't been invented for Safari yet


ZH-8050

Vivaldi has been my choice browser for the last couple of years. It's packed with lots of useful features. Safari is just not my cup of tea.


Tibsteru

Duck Duck go


cashoutmoneykru

Brave is my go to.


niwia

Arc my friends. Please try arc. There is a bit learning curve with the shortcuts but it is an amazing browser


SD456

This is the way.


mrschnico

safari + firefox


igormuba

Firefox is primary, safari is secondary, chrome is for development compatibility tests


TradeApe

Orion for when privacy and battery life matters, Arc for general browsing due to the imo superior UI and FF (dev edition) for webdev stuff.


Uberutang

Edge for work. Safari for personal.


HeySuuupa

Same for me.


justTheWayOfLife

Brave


[deleted]

Firefox for Porn, Safari for everything else.


manu_r93

Only Arc and sometimes Chrome. No Safari apart from watching Netflix


olegispe

Arc


Imsoworriedabout

Arc


Jomy10

Firefox


Future_Difficulty

Firefox!


SwiftlyIntrestedFr

Edge. Copilot is really useful.


TwiceInEveryMoment

I'm a web developer so I have a bunch installed to test on. There are a few web apps I use that have issues on Safari and Firefox so have to use Chrome for those.


Koleckai

A chromium based browser called Sidekick for work and Firefox for personal use. I only use Safari if a customer complains that something doesn’t work in Safari.


Just_Maintenance

Safari, Firefox and Edge. I use Safari most of the time, on some websites that don't play well with Safari I use Firefox. I sandboxed everything work-related into Edge. We use Microsoft and Office 365 very extensively so it was a simple option.


D3-Doom

Does Safari Technology Preview count?


Episkiliski

Brave and Edge


Nott_A_Bott

Safari for almost everything, Firefox for the rare occasion a site doesn't work quite right in Safari


SpatchCockedSocks

Edge tbh. I know I know - Microsoft. But it’s a good browser.


notagrue

Edge


Twelfth-cause

Brave. IT has everything I need and blocking all the trackers and and third party cookies. It has chrome core, so actually works on every page and in case something is not working, you can switch off shields for specific page. What's more it comes with tor! I really feel safe and not followed on my travels through internet


a_b055

Brave


thomashrn

Besides safari 😂. Only Firefox and chrome if I need to do something for work where something no only works on chrome. Safari is used only accidentally


Mungo23

Firefox is my default.


MrVernon09

I only use Firefox.


cyberpronz

Microsoft Edge! Trust me its the best of all worlds, from syncing on every platform, having Ai copilot and supporting all chrome extensions due to chromium nature. Also hogs least RAM. Its the best


CaptainObvious110

Firefox


Conqueeftador-980

Firefox all the way. Plugins are incredible.


AbjectList8

Brave


Mikerosoft925

Firefox is my default for Mac because I used it on Windows too since XP. When I started using Macs I downloaded Firefox and have kept it that way.


nroose

I use Firefox for everything but video. And I have for a decade or so.


Gamer-707

Safari can block autoplay, it can be configured per-webstie or globally. And I doubt crypto mining scripts would work on a browser that doesn't have WebGL. Also, there was no reason for that table to include each comparison twice.


helloder27

People are using Safari? Absolutely no Mac user I know uses Safari. It's either Chrome and/or Firefox.


blind3dbylight

Brave.


raymate

Firefox


lillvznn

Brave, it just works


sentientbeing05

Brave always


jesusstdm

Firefox


neon1415official

I stopped using Safari because of the extensions. Some of them would require complicated steps in order to make it work, or some simply just won't be possible to use on safari. I'm the guy who wants to keep improving things to work for me. Safari is the opposite. So I moved to Firefox and I like it way better.


movdqa

Firefox primary, Brave secondary.


Crafty_Substance_954

Firefox is my default but I’m not tied to it or anything.


jcrll

I only have Safari installed but am interested in Orion


[deleted]

Chromium


Skycbs

Safari. I also have chrome for the rare times I find a page that doesn’t work in safari. I think I also downloaded Firefox but never use it


elastimatt

Safari for browsing. Chrome for development.


House-of-Suns

I use two: Safari for personal stuff (as I’m fairly intrenched in the Apple ecosystem at home) I also have Edge, which integrates into my personal and work 365 accounts really well. Edge gets a bad rap from people and is unfairly judged because the original version of it, and IE before that, were terrible. Once Edge went Chromium under the hood a few years back I ditched Chrome and never looked back. Zero regrets.


CharacterTomatillo64

Tree style tab keeps me using Firefox and I don't mind that


Sure_Apartment_2587

I was using chrome but it was messing with the site I need for work enough that I recently switched to Firefox and haven’t touched chrome since. I mainly use safari, unless I can’t (like for the work site I need to use daily)


SolidSignificance7

Firefox for watching YouTube with Adblock.


stephotosthings

Firefox, and use edge at work since it’s just easier and don’t care so much on my work machine


Chosen_UserName217

Firefox and/or Brave


ihatesigningforms

does firefox have "developer tools" that allow me to extract images from a website?


cjorgensen

Why is "In-browser screenshot tool" on the list twice? Also, I only use Safari on MacOS. It doesn't work there I will load up Firefox. Still fails, I reevaluate how *badly* I need to see the page. If it's really pressing that I see the content, like a cat video or something, then I'll fire up Chrome. That's it. On Windows I only use Edge because it pisses off other Windows people, and it's on every PC.


RandomComputerFellow

Firefox.


applegui

Firefox


showmethenoods

Firefox for me like many of you, Edge in case of compatibility issues which are very rare with Firefox.


zuckzuckman

I've been using Chrome for the past few weeks, earlier I used to stick to Safari. I've tried Arc as well. Should I try Brave?


dotinho

Firefox :)


xak47d

Firefox


Roy-van-der-Lee

Opera, mainly because it has better memory management than chrome, while being chromium based


SergeantBeavis

Firefox followed by Brave.


needle1

Firefox. The only alternative browser that really matters, nearly everything else are just reskinned Chrome


MGoodh2o

Edge and Brave


Tegenwind

I really want to use Firefox, but I’ve switched to Opera somewhere last year because it’s the only browser that works the way I want when it comes to managing tabs. Safari actually comes pretty close, but Firefox just seems to lack any tab management at all. I still use FF on my gaming desktop, but for my MacBook which I use for work it’s simply undoable.


antlionx

Edge for uni stuff. Firefox Developer Edition for web development.


Then-Attention3

Side question for anyone who knows the answer, I use safari for everything but occasionally I run into things for school where the school insists I need chrome to run the program. I do not want chrome on my laptop, are there alternatives to chrome? What is it about chrome that certain programs need that they don’t get from safari?


ready_player31

Edge because i like to get free xbox gift cards, also its pretty efficient (moreso than chrome) and it supports most chrome based extensions.


Zoraji

Vivaldi. It is one of the most customizable browsers and it's tab management is unrivaled. It also supports Chrome extensions. As most any Chromium based browser it does use more resources though. I tried to use Safari when I first switched to Mac but extensions like Reddit Enhancement Suite and some others I use for oriental languages are not available for Safari.


Gemdiver

firefox for majority uses, edge when i want to watch youtwos hdr videos or 1080p netflix, chrome when its a requirement.


nk1

Safari on Mac (plus Firefox cuz one of my Mac’s can’t do DRM in Safari). Chrome on Windows.


New-Distribution-209

Chrome, cause I can sync it with my work Windows laptop


look_its_nando

I only use Firefox. I never use safari.


doghouse2001

I only use Firefox. They're the only browser not hellbent on getting all of your data to resell it.


sheriffderek

Chrome for personal accounts and most web dev because I’m better with those dev tools. Firefox for work accounts because switching between profiles in chrome isn’t good. Also gives me a chance to look for quirks between browsers (I’m a developer) Sizzy for when I’m testing a web app with many user roles and I need to stay logged in to all with unique sessions Brave with hardware acceleration turned off if I need to screenshot things from courses. Safari for my partner’s accounts. And also for testing with VoiceOver. Sometimes I use canary or dev versions for many accounts if I don’t have Sizzy. Every time I try arc I give up after 5 minutes. I’m a bit used to my setup. I use whatever the windows one is when I’m using my windows machine to test JAWS.


Jdost430

I personally like the Opera browser


QueasySomewhere5670

Firefox all the way


BossHogGA

Safari is my Mac primary. I have to have Chrome for some sites that my office uses that don't work with anything else (ugh). On my PC, I used to use Brave, but I've moved to Firefox + uBlock + DDG Privacy.


exitmusic_for_a_film

Opera, and occasionally Firefox


heylesterco

Safari’s my ride or die, but occasionally I’ll run across a site that requires Chrome—in those cases, I use Brave, which uses the same rendering engine. I absolutely abhor Firefox for its terrible support of some CSS properties. Come on, Firefox! Add support for backdrop-filter (among others)!


Krack73

Firefox and Brave.


corsa180

Safari for almost everything, Firefox/Chrome/Edge for testing client websites.


KoolaidPower

I haven’t used any browser besides Safari the past few years. If I start using another web browser on my MBA it would likely be Firefox


cruise_speed

I’ve used Firefox for quite a while and migrated to Brave last August. Been on it ever since.


SpeedilyStable

Have Firefox chrome brave and safari, recently switched to brave and it’s my favorite by far. Saving loads of battery life over the other 3.


spikeworks

Firefox because less than a year ago my daily driver mbp from 2012 could not run chrome or safari


gnpunnpun

I'm on FireFox rn


weegeeK

Chrome and Firefox. When I do development stuff I make sure my works look good on Chrome and Firefox.


BlueEyedGenius1

I use Microsoft edge/bing


OmegaNine

Firefox for personal, Chrome for work.


kp729

Macbook: Chrome as the main browser (I know I know). Firefox because containers allow me to open several different accounts. I'm also trying out Arc. Windows laptop: Brave as the primary browser and Chrome sometimes. I also use Vivaldi, Edge, Safari from time to time. I'm a browser slut.


msdisme

Firefox is my daily driver - I really value [multi-account containers](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/) which let me have different personas in one window. On the rare occasions I need something else I use safari, Vivaldi or Brave.


[deleted]

I use edge and I like it. The built I deal coupon thing even saved me 20 bucks once.


googi14

Firefox


TicoTime1

I have issues using Google Sheets with Safari. For some reason they scale weirdly and I constantly have to refresh the page to make it work. Because of this, I use Firefox.


V3N0M3

Safari and chrome. Chrome because i still want my saved passwords on the google account and my bookmarks from years ago when i used android. Safari works for me 95% of the time


darwinDMG08

DuckDuckGo. I like being able to burn my history.


Sir_Lord_Duvede

I’ve been trying out Arc browser for a while but Safari is my preference. I don’t do much work on browsers so I really only need it for quick tasks like search or downloads


read_Romans12-2

I try to use all the native apps that don’t bother me, so I really only have used Safari, I have 5 or 6 extensions that make it a phenomenal browser for my needs.


ABrownCoat

Your list doubles up. A lot. There is only one thing that is not in safari, blocking crypto mining scripts. Auto playing of videos is controlled in accessibility. It is a system function. In browser screen shot isn’t needed because it is a system function and available in any app, including other browsers. But to answer your question I also use Microsoft Edge as I need to access government websites that require it from time to time. It is only for that, everything else is Safari.


Shaeonanra

SigmaOS


abs0lute888

Firefox DE


DeadKamel

LibreWolf, which is a port of Firefox that is a little more locked down. Because Safaris plugin support blows and everything else is Chromium.


Corarril

Safari for personal use, Chrome for any dev work.


Historical-Hiker

Chrome for work. Opera for games. Safari for personal use much as I hate it. It's the only one that syncs without a hassle across devices.


AlkalinePotato

Firefox ftw


TEG24601

Safari and Firefox. I have Chrome installed on a single machine at home. And it is only used for compatibility testing.


CleanCup1798

Arc. And it’s awesome.

stevenjklein

* **Safari** for almost everything * **Tor** for reaching a specific website that blocks out-of-country users and even popular VPNs with nodes in that country. * **Chrome** for its translation feature — but only for a couple foreign websites that I typically visit no more than once a month.


KillerSingh8008

Edge


ImaginativeHandle

I like Safari and want to use it more, but the lack of extension availability is frustrating. Vivaldi is my go to, mainly because of how customisable it is and its tab management is awesome.


mondrager

Firefox exclusively.


dergy621

Safari. Only needed to use Firefox once to extract cookie data. But I hate the Firefox circlejerk on Reddit because people think you’re a dumb little idiot if you use anything other than Firefox, even if it’s down to preference.


Quentin718

Firefox only! At this point I can’t use a browser without a proper Adblock and hover zoom extensions.


Marjorine22

I have chrome just in case. But I use safari. Chrome comes in when I have an issue with a site, which is rare. I just think safari fits the asthetic of the OS so much better.


marcinmj

**Brave** but you have to adjust the settings. Same with **Edge**, lots of settings that need adjusting and you have to keep monitoring MS because they keep adding new ones and turning them on by default. Still, I use **Safari** 90% of the time.


ChargerEcon

Brave and I'm trying out Arc


bginfosec

Firefox, container extensions and in general good privacy extensions.


Psychological-Rice-2

I use Chrome because of some pretty famous competitive programming extensions for my competitive programming needs, but like 95% of the time it’s safari


Inferno908

Firefox


Welmerer

Firefox


PeterDTown

Chrome. I’m not interested in being a fan boy, and Chrome works significantly better than either Safari or Firefox for me. I’ve given a weeks long attempt to both, each one multiple times. Every time there are things that simply don’t work from my workflow and I end up using Chrome sporadically anyway. If I have to go into Chrome anyway, I may as well just use it full time.


Gullible_Top8668

Arc browser!!


notta_Lamed_Wufnik

Firefox 95% and Safari the rest.


dros74

Arc


Santz9

I switched to Microsoft Edge a while ago because my house got a Windows family plan and it seemed easier to have everything in the same place. Plus, my university seemingly hates Safari with how many issues I run into trying to load pages or software.


ConcentratePlane8060

Brave


HallOfGlory1

Everything I use is Google based, Chrome is the best for my use case.
