browser data separated from one another, which is useful for identity switching), Chrome extensions and Firefox add-ons (as said before), more per-site settings (e.g. To list some examples, it supports vertical tabs, profiles (i.e. It's not a stable browser (it's in beta) and often requires a compatibility mode to load certain sites, but it provides more than the alternatives. This is why my current browser is Orion, as it conforms to macOS's design system (and so all the little bits that feel natural are there). operating system) you're already using will, more often than not, provide a better experience than a web browser you need to intrinsically tweak to come close to a native solution. That sounds interesting, though generally, I think that having a web browser conform to the system (i.e. So this isn't really a "best browsers", but rather a "least painful browser". The only place it sometimes falls behind is performance (despite saying it's super fast, it sometimes gets slow over a long period of time). I currently use Orion as my browser, since it's based on WebKit (Safari's engine), mimics Safari's interface (a near drop-in replacement), and supports Chrome extensions and Firefox add-ons (give me SponsorBlock!). Min is a minimalist browser, so it's fast, but the interface is "ok". Though a killer feature it has is Little Arc, which is really good when opening links in other apps.


It's also trying to be more than a web browser, with its easels and file management. It also requires an account to use, which is suspect for privacy. The interface also looked really bad.įor some other browsers, Arc looks decent, but it's also somewhat slow. I used Vivaldi for a month and it was sloooooooow af. It's also rolling out Manifest V4 (and maybe still their cohorts thing), which sucks for privacy and general features of extensions. It also leaks DNS requests, which is a minus for privacy.Ĭhrome is fairly good for performance, but it's still Chrome, so I'd rather not be coupled to more Google services. Though, I haven't used it myself, so it's still up in the air.įirefox has gradually gotten worse as Mozilla generally has, such as bundling features most people don't want / need (seriously, who need the pocket thing in the toolbar?). I use a MacBook and care a lot about user interfaces and performance, so all except Firefox being based on Chromium is a downer for my batter.īrave is ran by a crypto company, which makes me suspect it (plus it has an option to pay users for enabling ads / tracking).
