Here is my admittedly long and nerdy rationale. But maybe something someone else could use . . .
My current ranking is: 1) Safari, 2) Firefox, and 3) Edge
I have used all of the above, including Chrome, quite a bit. Edge the least, but recently, more so. I’ve also used other browsers like Duck Duck Go and Brave.
I use both Apple and PCs, and sync across devices, generally.
I really liked Chrome when it first came out. Perhaps like most people, I considered it far superior at that time. Maybe most still do. It is easy, fast, and works well on many platforms. But it doesn’t do as much for me today. That, plus privacy issues, led me to minimize or get rid of some Google stuff altogether. In trimming various apps I’ve used or experimented with for years, in order to economize and be more efficient, I hit upon an unexpectedly good combination of browsers for my purposes.
The latest version of Edge works well on my new PC. I want to use it a lot right now as I get back into a Windows-based environment. Though I don’t use it a lot, Edge also works well on my iPad and iPhone.
It was a conundrum for me with Safari, as I knew it didn’t work as well on a PC in the past, so I didn’t even consider installing it. And certain things I use in Firefox (like tags), are not available in other browsers— but I am not a big fan of the Firefox apps for iPad or iPhone (which Safari works best with).
Before I looked into it a week ago, I might well have decided that Chrome was best to use for all of this.
Last week, though, it took only about an hour for me to learn that you can sync Firefox on a PC to Safari (easily via iCloud). Not only that, but set it up quickly, and for it to all to work well in the end (it doesn’t always). I knew I would like this, as I had transferred my Safari bookmarks to Firefox on a Mac before, and was surprised how closely they corresponded— the look and feel, and where the bookmarks were placed automatically, with little additional work on my part.
So, certain things or tasks I can only do in Safari (things that perhaps others here do not use), and certain things I can only do in Firefox. Now these functions are synced, like part of the same browser.
Some things are best for me to save (bookmark) in Firefox, that I need to have in Safari to do other things with. These bookmarks are now automatically saved in each in just one step.
