I really wanted to give Safari a chance and I really, really tried. I totally dig their "cloud tabs" feature. But I never had more issues with non-working or glitching websites in my life. The plugin and extension system feels horribly clunky.
And do not reply and try to convert me to use "Firefox" please. I tried it, its not for me.
@czottmann I did not test Brave, Vivaldi or Orion. I was burned by Opera once, since then I vowed not to use any "niche" browser ever again 😆. I am always "the lucky one" that will use a browser which is then not properly supported anymore or the company who makes it runs into financial turmoil – or is even going bankrupt.
I have tried Edge, but as Google, they are "improving" the browser too much. For me, Edge quickly reached a level of "enshityification" that is too much for me.
I will probably end up compiling my own Chromium. Though I will miss the feature to look up tabs from my other Chrome installations – and it will be a pain in the ass to install updates and fixes. My main reason for trying Safari again was the very good iOS and macOS integration.
@jason Edge is terrible, and it's increasingly obvious that Chrome just exists for Google to sell more ads and whatnot. Brave & Vivaldi build on default Chromium in good ways.
But yes, I get where you're coming from. For me, personally, it's important to have a solid browser that is “open enough” in terms of extensions and tracker/ad blocking. So, Vivaldi. Compiling your own Chromium is a young man's game 😅
