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

Mostly Brave for daily browsing. But for work, I use Microsoft Edge.
Add me to the Arc group. Absolutely the best and most game changing app I’ve used in years.
Safari (with Wipr), and for work Firefox (with ublock origin) because of compartmentalization and because MS Teams works (in Safari you need to disable cross-site tracking which I don't want to).
I am stuck on Edge on everything. The vertical tab implementation on Edge for me outdoes anything else. I can't go back and no addons do the same.
Firefox on MacOS. I really believe in Mozilla as a company. uBlock Origin is one of the better ad blockers you can find. Safari is a bit easier on battery life though.
Firefox, although also looking for a very lightweight privacy friendly browser.
Firefox. I'm trying out Arc Browser but it's been so sluggish.
Tried Arc for a while, really enjoyed it but right now I'm using Edge (just as a test of the MacOS version). Used Orion in the past and liked it but I'm waiting for some updates before I commit to it full time (extension API still being worked on, no auto updates for extensions, etc). I've basically used them all at one point or another.
Firefox and sometimes Safari. Since I also have a Windows machine I like to use the same browser on both devices. And I don‘t like giving more data to Google by using Chrome. They know enough about me already
Safari — mostly for the password manager, sms short codes auto entry, and privacy oriented features
Currently using Vivaldi
Brave for web browsing, Safari for video streaming. As far as I know, Edge on Windows and Safari on Mac will stream in the best quality possible due to DRM/codecs. Supposedly Safari uses less battery streaming video on Mac too.
Safari is way, way more battery efficient than any other browser. I use Firefox when plugged in but Safari on the go for this reason :-)
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.
Firefox but currently exploring Orion + Kagi search to see if I am going to switch. Heard about Kagi on kbin and it seems awesome so far.
I'm using edge on a MacBook that I have.
I use Microsoft Edge, Firefox and Safari. I like using a browser that is very similar to Chrome, but I rather avoid Chrome. Edge was also forced for using Bing chat for some time. Safari is fine, but you can't use all the plugins that are available for other browsers, and that is a bit annoying.
I used Firefox a lot before, but some websites that I used had some annoying bugs. I'm also a bit more used to the dev tools of Edge. Of course, I test websites that I build on all 3 browsers, and often have more than one open at the same time.
I primarily use Linux nowadays, but when I go back to my M1 Macbook Pro, I tend to use Safari. For me it's all about battery life. I'd love to use Firefox, but the battery drain compared to Safari is very noticeable.
Firefox and Tor browser.
Chrome for personal use, Brave for work. I used to use Firefox but I need tab groups and I'd prefer a native solution for that. Simple Tab Groups seems unstable.
Firefox on Linux machines at home. Mostly Chrome for work on the MacBook because the employer uses Google for everything.
Vivaldi for most things, hardened Firefox for private browsing, tor for sensitive searches
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?
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.
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.
