Why not just use FF container tabs to keep that separation?
That said, I do use Safari sometimes for non-sensitive things when my privacy settings and extensions get in the way of stuff like loading the reviews when shopping.
Got a tip for us?

Firefox offers good Web Developer tools such as their inspector. They also implemented interesting web security measures compared to Apple’s Safari that make it a very useful fallback browser for examining sites that Safari is having issues with accessing correctly.
I do. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Personally, I use Safari, but at work, Firefox's Multi-Account Containers save this Google admin's life on a daily basis.
I do, because I haven't found a working, zero-cost, ad-free Youtube experience with other browsers' extensions.
Forgive the edit, but that quote did need fixing.
I've never met a Chrome that I liked on the Mac end of things.
I swore by Firefox for years. Then came Chrome and it was utterly amazing. I tried Safari again maybe three years ago and noted… no difference? Except that my MBP didn’t fan up like a jet fighter taking off from an aircraft carrier? AND the battery didn’t deplete in one hour?
So I’ve stuck with Safari, on my Mac, iPhone and iPad. Never looked back. Everything works just fine. Until the next thing comes around and the cycle repeats. ? Maybe I should download Firefox again? ? ?

Brave is good and *hate myself saying it* Edge as well.
Curious, is there any reactions you get using something other than Chrome there?
Not a ton, though I don't necessarily advertise it haha. Switching between Chrome profiles for 10+ Google accounts is a major pain compared to just opening a new tab in a different container.
I prefer Safari overall. It's the smoothest and most integrated browser on Apple's platforms and I like the iCloud integration. Safari is also where I use all my content blockers which sometimes screw with webpages so I like having a clean install of Firefox to fall back to.
I do. Mostly because I can use it on many platforms (like Windows at work at macOS at home etc.) and sync my tabs, settings and bookmarks. Plus FF is highly customizable, especially in terms of privacy, security and ad blocking. Especially the latter has never worked for me with Safari.
Safari’s content blockers are almost too good, and why I went back to Firefox as my main.
I couldn’t agree more. Firefox is available on every platform both mobile and desktop which Safari isnt. And it’s far more privacy focused than Chrome. Opera is another option, but I find the rendering in Firefox to be significantly better than opera. There is no better browser today than Firefox.
A lot. Not everyone prays at the altar of the Big Four.
Meh...Firefox's design looks so old and tired. And on iOS it's cumbersome and annoying. Safari for the win.
I use Firefox due to it being independent from Google and having far more powerful security and content-blocking capabilities than Safari.
more customizable than Safari, doesn't track you like Chrome. Open Source, Free, and multiplatform.
ublock blocks ads, firefox strict privacy protection does not. if you disable ublock you will see ads on all sites.
