How many of you use Safari on everything?

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.

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

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 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.

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 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.

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