Safari doesn't exist on Windows, and iCloud for Windows sync is terrible.

Firefox doesn't support Wide-Gamut.

Chrome is too enshrined with Google.

Edge has some neat features, but Microsoft keeps pushing Copilot and Bing.

Arc had major security issues, and I've lost trust in them. Also, no Windows.

Opera is a subsidiary of a Chinese company.

Daily driver is Edge with vertical tabs and uBlock Origin.

At home I run Debian, as I have for 10+ years, and there I run firefox exclusively. (I download the binary and install to /opt/firefox)

At work I use a macbook, and to keep a good separation I use firefox for "personal browsing" and safari for all work-related browsing and logins.

Firefox, with tree style tab, might not be the best browser but it's good enough for me. I just wish I could trust Mozilla to make good decisions these days. Pushing addons, pocket, etc, etc, it's all a bit worrying. But I guess back in the day I paid for my name to be included in the NYT Firefox advert and I've stuck with them since then.

After Chrome pushed Manifest v3, I've fully switched back to Firefox

Is not like we have a lot of options.

But I tried Firefox forks: LibreWolf, WaterFox and Zen, in that order. I came back to using LibreWolf because it's available in apt which makes it easy to install. I had errors when installing WF on windows, couldn't use it. Zen doesn't support horizontal tabs.

Watch out for Ladybird browser. https://ladybird.org/

Vivaldi, started by the guy who originally was involved with Opera. I can't speak to the company or privacy features, since I haven't had enough time over the past few years to research it. But for my needs, it's flexible, easy to use, and not one of the big ones tied in with Google or MS, as far as I'm aware.

I tried Arc for a bit and liked it, but I still use chrome as my primary browser for now. One thing I liked about Arc was their chat with webpage using AI feature which I couldn't find in chrome so I built https://rockyai.me/ to offer that!

I tried Brave this year. I now use it as my Chrome-based option when things refuse to work under Librewolf, which is my daily driver. I disable the `resistFingerprinting` option in the Librewolf flags though, because I like scrolling in 144 FPS. I don't mind the cost in privacy.

I use Safari, Firefox, and Edge on macOS for work. I prefer Safari. Firefox has a more amateurish feeling user interface; it's just a bit awkward. Edge feels like this hulking monstrosity that takes a few seconds to load on Apple Silicon.

Safari as my default

Chrome - not by choice, but for a particular course I’m doing which insists that chrome is better. I don’t love either but I’m just habitually use to Safari.

Safari. Works great for me.

I use brave, it’s Crome without all the crud

Safari as a default, Brave as a backup.

Brave
