Safari still first but lately it’s really not working well with some sites such as Facebook and even this site (which is just filled with trackers)

Brave is a close second - lobe its effective ad blocking.
 
Firefox on Mac and Fennec on Android.

Currently migrated to Firefox on work. It works fine with Dynamic 365
 
I’m surprised at how many people use Chrome, though it doesn’t seem to be showing in the poll. Normally I just hear complaints about its RAM usage.

Since I don't use Safari, I have no extensions and the settings are at the default. Since most government sites tend to code their sites for Safari on Mac and Edge on PC, I don't usually have any issues when I have to pay my taxes or add money to my kids bus pass. But these are not sites I go to every day - hence I only use Safari for them.
 
Macbook Pro, iPad Pro and iPhone Pro all use Safari
HP dualboot Omni uses Firefox for both Windows !! and Ubuntu 25.10
 
It depends - on my work MacBook Air, it’s Chrome as it works better with our corporate systems. Everything else I tend to use Safari unless there’s an issue loading a site and fallback to Chrome or Edge.
 
Safari on Apple devices, always. It’s just the best, specially on MacOS (better battery life than the alternatives). It’s fast, supports extensions and has great privacy protections.

I see that a lot of people are using Brave purely because of the AdBlocker. NTA, but yall know that there are plenty of AdBlocking extensions on Safari, right? AdGuard and wBlock are the best imo.

On Windows I use Helium, it’s new and in beta but it’s really good. No bloat, private, Chromium-based and has ublock origin preinstalled.

I’m still hooked on Arc and will be for the foreseeable future. I’d like to transition to something else but haven’t found anything that sticks. I’m keeping an eye on Dia and Emerald as possibilities.
 
Historically I've been Safari/Firefox+Ghostery, but I recently started giving Brave a try and have been quite pleased.
 
On MacOS Safari with all privacy/security settings like private relay (but not block cookies), Wipr and DuckDuckGo as default search/home page. Casual browsing always in Safari private mode, hence not blocking cookies is okay for casual sites.
 
ARCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC!
I've tried other vertical-tab browsers such as Zen but nothing compares to the gorgeous design, fluidity and feature set. I've tried to switch, especially with the dwindling update support, but I just am unable to.
