I recently bought a Macbook and have been using Safari. I notice that the macbook keeps telling me Safari is using battery quite a bit. I don't know if it actually is overboard or if it is just saying that because that is what I use most on the Macbook. Normally I wouod always use Chrome on a computer but I have heard how it is a resource hog and then all the tracking is a negative
Got a tip for us?

Is Safari the best browser to use?

I use Safari unless I stumble across a website where it doesn't work (very rare). It integrates best in my opinion with the hardware and software from Apple. My battery menu will often tell me that Safari is using significant energy, but I think that's just saying that of all the apps I'm using, Safari is using the most. And that makes sense when I'm using Safari most of the time.
Import bookmarks and history directly from another browser in Safari on Mac
In Safari on your Mac, import bookmarks and history directly from other browsers.

Same here. Safari is what I use 90+% of the time. As alternates I have Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Brave, but do not use any of those very often. But the different browsers do obviously deal with certain websites differently, and on those occasions when Safari has some issue then one of the alternates usually does fine.
Safari will presumably perform best on macs. Personally I use Edge since I'm also on Windows and Android, and I don't like Chrome.
The major culprit of bad internet browsing experience are those trackers/ads. Some sites can have like 40+ things doing crap in the background (tracking, ads, analytics, etc). These usually are the culprit. A good ad blocker can improve the browsing experience on any browser as imo most modern browsers are fast enough and follow most of the web standard.
