    Firefox. I love how it integrates with Firefox on the other half dozen devices and computers I use daily.

    Safari because all other “browsers” are basically wrappers for Safari and yes even Google Chrome.

      I don’t know why you’re being down voted. You’re right. Other than other browsers like Brave having built in adblocking and being able to sync with desktop Firefox for example, there is literally no difference in terms of performance.

        People don’t like hearing the truth but who am I to judge. Let them live in a bubble and think that downloading a different browser changes anything. It’s just Safari with extra steps (and maybe a little bit more features).

    Safari.

    I love the tab bar to the moon and back. Every other browser is just Safari with an asterisk, since Apple makes everybody use WebKit.

    I don’t use Chrome on any of my devices, so I’m not worried about missing out on sync. The fewer Google products I use, the better.

      Also Safari. The only issue I have is the auto page zoom cuts off the right side slightly. Very minor but still bothers me. I filed a bug on it over on the lemmy-ui GitHub project.

    I use Safari but if Firefox was like how it is on Android with addons then I’d be using that instead.

    Used to use firefox until it somehow became shit and was forced to change to safari. Super annoying. Used to be a great app.

      +1

      Been using this on my iPad pro for several months. I love the flexibility for extensions. It’s not perfect but I enjoy the trade offs even if it does randomly slowdown sometimes.

      Also using Orion! It’s the only one that’s convinced me it’s better than Safari, primarily because it’s actually more aggressive with power savings than Safari. The implementation to kill idle tab processes almost immediately is very effective imo.

        I find Orion to be very laggy, even with very few tabs open. And i just cant use it because of this. Did you find it to act the same for you?

          I’ve only used it on iOS so far, but I’m a backer so I think that might mean I have a newer version than the public beta. I might try it again if that was a while ago, I had a few bugs previously that have been sorted in the more recent versions.
