Firefox is my choice. Can’t live without sync and I use quite a few extensions that can’t be found in other browsers.

Firefox, it's the only way 🫡

I’m a sucker for the iCloud integration so I still use Safari.

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

Same. Also, it’s very good.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Orion. As good as Safari, but works with Firefox and Chrome Extensions.

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

Wow. Thanks for mentioning this.

I wish there were some sort of bonus thank you points on Lemmy. I guess I'll just give you a 🍟

DuckDuckGo and their Bitwarden integration is great. Arc is also interesting.

[–] [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

Firefox and Tor browser.

[–] [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?

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

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

I just use Safari, same on my phone. Makes it easier to use the same thing and I like the password manager and SMS auto fill.

I've been using Orion for months and I love it so much

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!

Vivaldi mostly

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

99% Brave 1% Safari for me. Mostly Brave for cross platform sync.

I like safari, but use firefox so the sync works with between Mac, iPhone, FreeBSD Desktop, and Work Windows Laptop.

I use Firefox on all platforms.

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

I use Firefox, because of Firefox containers and total cookie protection.

But with Safari adding profiles to the next version, I will need to revisit Safari again.

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

But will they be adding favicons? Big reason why I started using Firefox in the first place

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

I don't know. My guess would be no. Which is a shame.

[–] [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

Firefox, although also looking for a very lightweight privacy friendly browser.

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

All Safari for me

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

When it comes to personal stuff I only use Firefox, regardless of device. But as a web developer I end up having to use them all at various times, and Safari isn't too bad.

[–] [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 (1 children)

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] 1 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!

Chrome for work. As a web dev, it's our primary target. Firefox for personal stuff, just to keep the logins separated, plus, I've been using Firefox as my primary browser since the mid '00s; creature of habit, at this point.
