What I see so far, I like very much.
However, there are 2 features that are stopping me from using it as my main browser. an adblocker, and swiping the tab bar to switch between tabs. But what you have created so far, I really like!
- SanjayMehta 3y agoI didn’t notice the lack of adblocking until this comment, thanks to a DNS based adblocker. I wonder if it’s possible to support all Safari extensions seamlessly? There are a number I use which make it hard to switch completely.
- hxii 3y agoI’m using Orion but it seems like extensions here are either hit or miss for the most part. Can you share which extensions you are using with Safari?
- SanjayMehta 3y agoVinegar Banish Dark Knight 1Blocker Scripts StopTheMadness The last two are essential for me, can live without the others.
- nckh 3y agoThank you so so much for those nice words! During the beta period I was totally amazed that quick tab swiping was the absolute #1 most requested feature :)
- eyelidlessness 3y agoAt least for me, it’s one of those things I never knew I needed… until I had it, and now it’s like second nature. It’s like a much better version of the “switch tabs with scroll wheel” extensions I used to use on desktop.
- djcannabiz 3y agoI totally agree. Brave on ios does an interesting thing, where you can drag to switch tabs. It’s much quicker to switch many tabs, but i found myself overshooting and ending up on the wrong tab. I also like how the default safari shows you the edges of other tabs to make it clear what you can switch to.
- nckh 3y agoWow I never noticed that tab switching gesture thing on Brave. Quite lacking precision as you said though. Thanks for pointing it out!
- heinstrom 3y agoHave we not all just migrated to DNS based ad blocking yet?
- the_gipsy 3y agoThat only does the bare minimum.
- oefnak 3y agoNo, that doesn't block YouTube ads (for example) and with DNS over Https will stop working soon anyway.
- StimDeck 3y agoI am not sure how the transport layer affects the DNS that is used, but I think you are mistaken. If you require an off-site DNS ad blocking solution compatible with DoH, try NextDNS.
- SanjayMehta 3y agoStopTheMadness on Safari allows you to rewrite URLs to alternates. For YouTube you can rewrite to an invidious instance. No ads. https://yewtu.be https://yewtu.be is one example.
- manuelmoreale 3y agoThe best solution is to run both at the same time.
