@… On macOS I use Safari, but the rare time that I’m using Windows, Firefox is still the browser I have installed there.
I’m not aware of any better alternatives, but then I haven’t cared to look for a while.

Well, Apple, making Safari 26.0.1 run like a dog’s breakfast on macOS Sequoia while also *not* providing a download for Safari 18.6¹ is definitely a choice.²
No way I’m breaking nearly half the apps I rely on daily by upgrading to Tahoe just to fix Safari so I guess I’ll be making Chromium my default (I use Orion a lot, especially since I pay for Kagi, but it has its issues like 1Password not working, etc.) And don’t get me started on Firefox³.
So, Apple, how about a little less …

Is it just me? Perhaps because I often have only one or two tabs open - I'm a compulsive tab closer. But the new UI in macOS Safari for handling tabs wastes space, is hard to use, and confuses me constantly about where the URL box is and such. I am unsure why it passed muster at product review time.
Perhaps it works well for others. But even if you always have more than one tab open, it still wastes vertical space.

I'm mostly interested into how to do this from Chrome and Firefox based browsers.

So, I still have not updated my iPhone to v26 because I hate everything I’ve seen about the “Liquid Glass” and Apple still had a v18 update last time around.
But I expect I will be forced to upgrade since Safari with Lockdown Mode on in v18 chokes on almost every page, redrawing a couple of times before giving up. I also see this in a couple of apps which are probably just thin wrappers around Safari WebViews. Turning off lockdown mode for the site ends the problem.

So what's a good alternative to Firefox (I'm using it when I'm not on my Mac). I don't want their new "AI Window" stuff and I don't want to support it.
It has to work on Windows and an iOS version as well, and can sync passwords between those.
Please only suggest things you personally use and like.
I'm ruling out Chrome (spyware) and Brave (homophobic owner).
(Wish Apple would still make Safari for Windows.)

Ok, I’m procrastinating downloading a bunch of vids with yt-dlp and at this point I’m already reaching the tabs limit on this Safari profile
What’d be the best way of downloading a bunch of videos with yt-dlp while still keeping a good control of what failed and what succeeded? (this is basically impossible from its output if you feed it a bunch of links in a single go)
I was wanting a webui I could selfhost and it’d show progress and status for each video it’s downloading (and let me pass custom options to the yt-dlp command, such as filename), but should I just make a script with a for loop for each URL instead?

Exposomics is an important "new" science. As it matures, it will require medical AI and database analyses. Genetics CANNOT be separated from the environment. Genetic expression is inherently environmental.
Here's a short article explaining the Exposome. (Though gods help you if you can't suppress ads and pop-ups. It works fine in Safari's Reader Mode, e.g.)

For those of you tolerating Liquid Glass and the quite horrific Safari redesign on mobile/tablet: Kagi’s Orion browser actually seems to be an awesome full replacement. No complaints so far. Easy access to tab management, no weirdly hidden buttons or menus you need to tap multiple times to see fully. As a bonus, it has built-in filter support as well as several great Firefox and Chrome plug-ins. And Kagi’s search is optional. In fact you have more search options than in Safari.

Been trying for 6 days now to complete an upload onto FilmHub. Can't figure out if the ISP/router/safari/content blocker is causing the upload to interrupt every 20min or so. Have to manually restart it every time, and it'll be a miracle if the file isn't corrupted in the end.
@al3x@hachyderm.io2025-11-29 22:29:21
Safari is falling behind by the day.
Its usability is borderline ridiculous.
Mouse over a tab, it shows a preview of the tab, you click, and Safari decided to surprise you show **some** tab.

Ran into this new flow on a number of sites just now (Indiewire, Variety, and RollingStone) delivered by the colossal douchebags at html-load.com who run report-error.com.
They make it look like a browser error has occurred and then tell you to disable your tracker/ad blocker.

The main reasons for me to use Safari on macOS despite being behind on web standards is integration with its iOS siblings and performance.
However: bookmark sync is unreliable and relatedly reading list is so janky too that I switched to GoodLinks. And somehow the UI gets increasingly sluggish until I restart it like an old Windows system.
I guess it's time for an experiment.

This is weird...
Just went to download something from the Apple site on my Sequoia MBPM4P. Safari 26.0.1 alerts me with the usual "allow downloads" dialog, but instead of just asking about the site I'm actually downloading from, it includes the OTHER TAB that just happens to be open in the same window. No way to only approve the site I'm actually d/ling from.
No harm *in this case* but it sure smells like a bug.

It turns out that if you launch Zen, Twilight, Firefox, Safari, iCab, Edge plus its three prereleases, Chrome plus its Canary version, and SeaMonkey (under Rosetta) all at once you can make Sequoia run terribly on a M4Pro/24GB MBP.

The most frequent argument in support of Safari is its energy efficiency.

Idk who needs to hear this, but don't use Google's Chrome browser.
Some easy to use, fast and compatible alternatives are Firefox (cross-platform) or Safari on macOS/iOS.
Also more esoteric browsers based on Firefox like LibreWolf or the Tor Browser; I can't vouch for these as I don't use them personally.
(Whatever you do, don't use Brave, it's made by a bigot homophobe with money from Peter Thiel.)
