Safari Firefox Or Chrome For Mac Battery

Pretty broad topic, and you will get numerous replies based on factors that might not apply to your use. Each of these undergoes considerable changes over time, so it is probably best to install all three, try them and choose your favorite based on your use. In my opinion, Chrome works best for sites that were primarily designed for IE, but those are converting. I am not a fan of Google (privacy), but Brave browser is Chrome based and is designed with privacy in mind. Firefox is generally my second used browser after Safari.

Angle text in pages for mac. Browsers used were Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Vivaldi. I used Apple’s Activity Monitor app that comes with every Mac running the latest software to determine which browsers had the.

I know it’s fashionable to like Chrome but I prefer Safari for a few reasons which may all seem minor but it’s what keeps me using it: • When you start typing something in the address bar, Safari is better at picking up your history. For example, say I have looked at a few pages on epicurious.com in the past. If I type just e, or ep, Safari suggests the full URL to me and I just press Return to go to the website. Not only that, but it also suggests the pages on that website I visited which is really handy when I want to go back to a specific page.

Chrome, by contrast, just gives me Google search suggestions. • With downloads, I prefer the way Safari just puts the file into your Downloads folder. I don't like the bar Chrome puts at the bottom of the browser window to show your downloads because it's another click to close it. • I prefer Safari’s standard Print dialog over Chrome’s custom one • I like the “snapback” feature of Safari, i.e. You start with a search, click on a result and go down a bit of a maze of pages. Press Cmd-Alt-S to get back to search results. There are, however, very occasional websites which don’t quite work properly on Safari (probably because the developer tested them on Chrome!).

The calendar view of Outlook Web Access, for example, displays blank. It also depends what you use on your phone and if you want to be able to work between the two. I use Safari on my phone too and like the fact I can open pages on my phone which are open on my computer, and vice versa, and also be able to close tabs on other devices.

First bit, since you're focusing on one web site that you use Chrome, consider using the epichrome single site browser (SSB). I use SSBs for several sites - this one, Wunderground, Sigalert, Feedly, email accounts, WaPo/Guardian - each SSB doesn't talk to any other SSB, I can use Chrome Extensions like uBlock Origin/Dark Reader/Dropbox, each SSB gets updates when Chrome is updated, site-specific preferences.

What's not to like? I also use the $5 paid version of Fluid for some of my SSBs, using Fluid when I don't need to concern myself with Extensions and the like.

Second bit, I occasionally have issues with Safari as well. I use the Develop Menu>User Agent options when I get 'stuck' - along the lines of I'm using Safari and the site just doesn't work quite right, and then I switch the User Agent to 'Chrome' for Windows (the relevant version in Safari's menu options) and 'magically' the web site works perfectly. And, then I know the IT guy for that site is a tool who likely hates macOS. One of the reasons I like Fluid is that I can set the web app's User Agent when I set up the SSB. I dabble with Vivaldi a bit, it's come a long way - AFAIK it's built in part by former Opera employees. I liked Opera, since a Chinese company purchased that browser's resources there's no way I'd use Opera for any site that requires security - the move by a bunch of the browser's programmers vectored to Vivaldi shortly after that purchase left me leaving Opera pretty much on a sideline.

I try FF from time to time but there's just nothing choosing me to launch it when I need to use a browser - now that they're pushing ads a bit leaves me feeling FF's days are numbered.
