I use Firefox and cannot remember the last time I had to switch to Chrome. Most site work with JS off too (especially if you use reader view). Quite a lot of sites work well with other browser engines too. I have tried PaleMoon, Netsurf. Users of Apple mobile devices seem to be fine with Safari. Really light or unusual browsers might be a problem. Dillo, for example (its very fast though). | ||||||||||||||||||||

The two things that I'm missing in Safari are auto dark mode (re-coloring pages) and toggling javascript per-site. Currently I'm using the "Quiche" browser (paid) for that, but github is suddenly hating it (requiring a login). I like that desktop chrome lets me toggle javascript per site out of the box. It sounds like the dark mode thing is coming in the next Safari release. | ||||||||||||||||||||

It really, really depends on what sort of websites you visit. I use FireFox as my main browser, but at least once a week I have trouble trying to do something on some website that only works on Chrome and its descendants. I'm sure you're not lying, but given you also say "most sites work with JS off too" I can absolutely tell you're not the average internet user. But yeah, we're discussing using eww here, so I'll accept none of us are. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Even before I had much of the Internet ban me because I was playing with a bot, my FF profile on Linux was giving me a lot of trouble. About 6 months ago a lot of web sites barely functioned for me. I can't log in to E-trade. Home Depot and Lowes search doesn't work for me. If I open a brand new FF profile, some of these sites do work. But I guess the combination of FF, on Linux, with my addons is triggering something. | ||||||||||||||||||||
