Battery life is my primary concern, and unless they release battery life benchmarks I’d be hard pressed to switch off of Safari.

- stevewodil 7y agoYeah, I just switched to Safari recently because of battery life
- shantly 7y agoLast I checked it was looking like they would now be as "good" as Chrome, which is much worse than Safari. Hopefully that improved or will soon improve.
- ztakeo 7y agoRecently switched from Safari to Firefox because of the awful extensions environment in Safari but definitely missing the battery life. Really wish one browser could just get everything right
- Scarbutt 7y agoSafari means no ublock, the web without is annoying.
- otherblocks 7y agoFWIW, I started using 1Blocker recently with Safari and have found it to be quite good. YMMV.
- Scarbutt 7y agonice try.
- perditus 7y agoDisconnect works well enough.
- lpuerto 7y agoThere are other options (paid ones) that are equal —or even better since they are quite automatic— than ublock. The only two things I'm missing in safari to be hones are: - A no-script extension or similar. - Sync part of my work is on a no macOS machines I don't have safari there, so no sync. I partially overcome this with bookmaster for bookmarks, but I still missing tabs and read it later list. However, firefox doesn't have this later feature on desktop —and I don't why.
- techwizrd 7y agoFirefox Sync syncs your tabs, bookmarks, passwords, etc. Your read it later list is synced through Pocket (which is owned by Mozilla). They exist on desktop and mobile.
