I posted earlier, but I'm giving Firefox a long-term test. Got it synced between my MBA, my iPad and my three work PCs, so we'll see how it goes. Current version 89.0 has some nice UI improvements (IMHO), so it doesn't look like a crappy PC port any more.
What are you using on the phone? The new Firefox update looks. Currently using it on my Linux machine
Trying it on my phone as well. Getting to the bookmarks is a multi step process, however, which is annoying.
Safari, Edge, Firefox and Brave. Never ever Chrome. Not installed.
Different browsers for different tasks. Some of them have their own spaces.

It has been mostly Edge but I will try Safari again now Apple seems to have fixed its SSD write issue.
Edit: Also thinking of Brave…

I used Safari last night. Imported all my Chrome bookmarks and installed LastPass. LastPass doesn't work as seamlessly with Safari as it does Chrome. It doesn't input the username/password on several sites, and sometimes it would have another tab's site's username/password listed. I do like the autofill for SMS text codes, but not sure this is worth switching from Chrome. Chrome just seems more user friendly to me. The sync'ing between my macOS computers and Windows 10 computer also is a plus with Chrome.
I had been a devoted Safari user up until about 3 years ago. I realize that Chrome is more memory intensive, but this isn't a huge deal for me. Safari does seem faster. I'm open to suggestions how to improve the LastPass experience. There's the option of converting everything to storing in Safari, but not sure how secure that is compared to LastPass and also it wouldn't allow sync'ing of passwords with Chrome on my Windows laptop I use for business.
Any suggestion?

First: Chrome M1.
Password sync across devices (non-Apple ones) and uBlock origin make it irreplaceable for me.
Also contrary to many users experience - IMO, M1 Chrome has better memory management than Safari. No annoying page refreshing too... I removed keystone and GoogleUpdate services from it.
Also, I use Chrome as a base webkit for apps I create with Coherence. Eg. I have my own Google Translate app created in 2 minutes (Coherence with Chrome base and uBlock origin to cleanup css style) - without Google header and other unneeded page elements. Very very practical.
I did the same with Gmail and Google Keep, but cannot post their look due sensitive content.
Second: Opera M1.
Chromium core, better UI than Chrome and free VPN. No password sync accross devices push it to 2nd place
Third: Safari. Mostly for Amazon Prime videos.

Microsoft Edge (based on Chromium)
With the extension uBlock Origin, it's really nice. And working without problem if I had some with Safari.
Get to Know Microsoft Edge
Get the most out of your browsing experience with Microsoft Edge, a fast and secure browser with world class performance, built-in privacy, and more.

Edge/Safari. Been pretty happy with Edge for a long while now on Mac. Who'd-a thunkit.
Yeah, I didn’t get the requirement of watching prime video on Safari either. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I use Safari 90% and Brave 10%.
If Apple is serious about privacy, Chrome should be labelled as spyware and installation should be blocked on all Apple devices. Most non-techie people are just ignorant about how much data Google collects and they use it since they think it's the best browser out there.

Forgot to mention.
Using Unite - and Safari webkit as a base - I created the app for Prime Videos. Looks like a native app.
Chromium cannot give the same look of the toolbar like Safari, but on the other hand has the advantage of modifying css styles via its extensions, and simply be more universal for most of other websites.

I also agree that Monterey Safari looks astonishing - and will probably switch to it when its launched.
