which browser do you use?

I fully agree with you @TrancyGoose , I do every now and then some checks between the two of them and find Edge far more superior.

I only switch to Safari for personal time browsing, as it offers a better continuity mode and sync between iPhone, iPad and Mac, but for business purposes Edge is highly superior (even more if your business includes a lot of Gsuite apps btw)

Edge Is so underrated!

Use Safari on all my devices. When I was more agreeable to this forced working from home 3 days a week I would comply with the employers request to use Chrome, think they had a way to monitor what people were doing during working hours, but now only use Safari, and simply tell the supervisor if he doesn't like me completing the assignments how I want then terminate me and I will collect unemployment for a year, no worries.... so far he won't.

Firefox. And in a pinch, Edge.

Proprietary nature of Apple (we know better than you what you really need and want, so that's what we're going to build. Oh, and we don't have security issues - believe us) means that Safari is a non-starter for me.

Is Firefox milliseconds faster or slower to render pages than Safari? Don't know. Don't really care. Much depends on the vagaries of the net itself and how successful my Provider is at getting it to me. So there's that. And I have yet to hear my Intel MBA struggle (fan) even with multiple tabs open.

Firefox has Add-Ons that I use regularly that simply don't exist in Safari's Extensions, while Firefox makes a point of working to resolve (or avoid before it becomes an issue) security items - and telling you about it - while giving the user permission to fine tune many of them to their preference.

Google Chrome (selling our use to highest bidders) and Brave (selling our use to preferred bidders) as their business model doesn't really appeal, either.

Although we hear it is less likely to track us than Chrome, on the other hand it is full of advertising and promotions. It makes it difficult to choose your own search engine and in general, it does not play nice by tryig to control our choices. Have you even seen their installer? 🙁

Try clean Chromium much better than Edge or Chrome

Safari as my primary browser. For some reason Jira runs like molasses on it - so Edge for Jira and Brave for another browser instance I need for my other O365 account (3 total). But Safari primarily when it can be helped.

I have noticed a disturbing trend where more and more sites only seem to work on chromium browsers.

I like to watch Knicks games on MSG GO and also chat online on an NBA bulleting board with friends during the game. The bulleting board uses crappy software and usually winds up using over 1GB of real memory, so I've tried to find how to watch MSG GO using the least amount of memory.

Safari wins hands down. If I run MSG Go in a separate window, I can see that tab uses <500 Mb memory. If I run it as the ONLY tab in Firefox, it uses 1.5 GB, and in Brave, it uses up to 2 GB. So it seems Safari does well here.

Note: I'd try using the iPad MSG GO app, but even though I can download and install it from the App Store, when it asks for permission to use my location, no amount of adding location permissions to this app in System Preferences allows it to get past the request for location permissions. I think it just doesn't work on the Mac.
