How many of you use Safari on everything?

[GoRedwings19]

I have always used Safari for every single Apple device I have had. But when I am on my PC I use chrome and firefox

I think you miss my point. I don't want my browser which touts 'privacy' to be doing this stuff. I especially don't want to be given affiliate links to crypto to make a browser company more money if I was to use them.

Both a VPN and, to a lesser extent, crypto improve your privacy. Brave even has TOR built in.

If you believe a browser siphoning off money from crypto-links without explicitly telling people is good for privacy then that's your prerogative.

 

[Bluecube]

Clicking on affiliate crypto links is a completely separate issue from the browser itself. Brave has always been privacy orientated and achieves that aim.

Same.

Safari on IPad and IPhone never touch it on PC or Desktop

I've been using Arc on my MacBook. I much prefer the spaces/pinned tab system to Safari's multiple windows. Seems pretty good on resource usage too.

I still use Safari for everything.

I ended up using multiple browsers but in the end settled on Chrome. It just works. I know it is bad for privacy but if I want to do anything privately I just open Firefox for the session and then clear history and cookies when I am finished.

I've recently switched to Chrome both on PC and my Macbook.

I still only use Safari on my iPhone and using Wipr as my adblocker for it.

Never had any problems with Opera or Brave, I use Brave since Apple decided to ditch browser extensions. Only thing I liked about Safari was I could use it on my phone and see history on my Mac, but no biggie.

I have extensions in Safari

I have extensions in Safari

So did I until I couldn't install a bunch I had.

 

[Scott C]

I use Safari for everything that I can but I keep Firefox and Vivaldi around for any sites that have issues.

Though I've recently started to use Orion and quite enjoying it

Absolute travesty that you have to pay a premium for free extensions for Safari like essentials such as DarkReader. It's a shame because Safari is super nifty.

 

[Rannoch]

I use it on my iPad. Never had a problem

 

[beachBOYken]

I use Safari, but lately I’m getting the occasional issue with bank payment verification on some sites, just a constant spinning circle when attempting to make a payment, so I need to try another browser to rule things out.
So what’s a good alternative to Safari? Is Firefox worth trying or something else?

FIrefox is a massive battery drainer in my experience. I'd probably just use Chrome or Edge for things where Safari doesn't work, but it might be a simple Safari setting you can change.

Brave.....every day, all day long.

Yeah maybe, can be so many things though, so next time it happens im just going to try a different browser first.
