For browsing the web.

EDIT: I use safari for browsing and chrome for work(web development). Chrome eats up lots of battery.

Currently using Safari. I also use Chrome for work stuff since I have a business G Suite account. I also use Firefox from time to time.

Safari loses my confidence now since the ad blocking stuff becomes confusing. My go to browser is now Brave. Jilt in ad blocking, and the tor incognito is quite neat.

I've completely moved over to Firefox across my MacOS, Windows and Linux devices. Sync works really well and I manage my passwords with LastPass. Works fine for me.

Which is strange imo. I tried one called ka-block, and it’s like it’s not doing anything. Are the ad blockers now have to be a separate app, that it has to be run separately? I guess I just don’t have the patience to figure this out so I use Brave where it has built in ad blocking.

Firefox is my primary browser on my Mac, my iPhone, my iPad.

I use 'ChrEdge' for work on Windows 10, because I keep different bookmarks and separate out my casual surfing.

Safari, whenever it pops up on a tapped link - because it is iOS default browser.

Otherwise, Firefox FTW

Most of the time just Safari, it's even nicer now in Big Sur. But when I inevitably run into things that don't work on Safari I'll switch over to Vivaldi.
