Which web browser do you use? (alien.top)

I am very confused between the following browsers: Safari, Edge (I dont mind using bing because I use an outlook account as my main email), Chrome, Brave and Arc. I have an intel MBP from 2019 with about 4 hours of battery life. I just wanted to know what browser other macbook users are using and why.

When I first got my Mac I was using Safari as it just runs smoother but as I'm still an android phone user, I was missing out on the syncing of history and passwords so i almost always use Chrome. It's just so seamless between my phone and MacBook.

I've been on android and chrome for too long to change now.

On Android, but use Firefox. I have all my passwords synced across devices as well. You can have the passwords imported from Chrome. I used to use Chrome for a couple of years. Switching back to Firefox was pretty painless.

I use Safari for everything, it just suits me the best from all browsers I’ve tried and it does a great job for me personally.

Firefox, because it’s open source and their organization pushes for an open web

Run Speedometer 2.0. Safari seems faster than other browsers on my MBA

I think that is exclusive to the M chip macbooks. On my intel macbook safari was no better if i remember correctly.

[–] Ahleron@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Firefox. Been using it since 0.3 beta. It syncs across all of my devices. I can send tabs to any device. It is open source and very customizable. Fast. Stable. And it ain't Chrome.

Safari as main, Firefox as backup

[–] Jaiden051@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Firefox because ad blockers and works well

[–] fabrictm@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Chrome and FF
