I have the following on my Mac, Safari, Opera, Foxfire, and Vivaldi. up until about two weeks ago I had been using Vivaldi which was/is fast, however after the last two or three updates it has started crashing about twice a week so I have switched to one of the others (which will remain nameless for this discussion). I have been thinking about Chrome but, don't want to clutter up my machine any more than necessary but, if it is the general consensus here, I might consider giving it a try. So my question is what is the choice of others?

I've used Firefox for the past few years. Safari got to be a huge memory hog, so I switched. Maybe they've improved Safari since then, but I'm happy with Firefox, so I've stuck with it.
 
I find I need to run several, as no single browser works everyplace.

My primary is Firefox with JavaScript disabled.
When I need a page that requires JS, I first try Chrome with ScriptSafe.
I use Safari with JS fully enabled on pages I trust.
 
I recently purchased a MacBook Air and Safari has worked so far. I've had an iPhone for years and on the phone, at least, I like Safari.
 
Safari here but after using Macs for a long time I have gotten used to customizing it and doing things like assigning function keys as I like, such as F5 is refresh page on most browsers but not on Safari unless you assign it which I did. I am too lazy to do that with other browsers. The only thing I don't like about the recent upgrades to Safari is it eliminated all non Apple store extensions. I loved the autopagerize extension to scroll endless at the bottom of the search page on the browser but it is gone.
 
Chrome, Firefox, Safari, then Vivaldi in that order. Vivaldi is a bit buggy right now. Otherwise I'd use it all the time because of the tracking blocks.

I have found also that Vivaldi is also a good bit faster then Safari. The buggy part is why I am not using it right now. If they ever get it squared away I will probably go back to it full time.
