#browsers

When I'm on my Mac, I usually use Safari. But it's just too slow. Every time I switch back to Waterfox (or Firefox), I notice a HUGE difference. Everything feels snappier: tabs open instantly, and the Mastodon web interface runs immediately, without slowdowns. I'd really love to use Safari on my Mac, but its performance gets on my nerves pretty quickly. So, back to Waterfox! #Browsers #Waterfox #Safari

Last thought. It feels like the market for the "privacy browser" had ramped up, the more so- called AI is shoved down people's throats.

I have at least two installed, but can't decide which route to take. Which mobile "privacy browser" do you use?

(I've excluded Brave for personal opinion reasons).

If it's a different one to the 4 option limit I have for polls, please reply with which one and why.

Thanks,

FJ
