Yeah, I actually switched from Firefox to Safari this month. I didn't know Safari had tab groups, the feature I missed from Chrome when using Firefox. No speed differences and Safari has less of a battery impact so far. Hard to complain about a browser that still cares about privacy, but with tighter OS integration.

What Adblock do you use with Safari? I would also like to try switching from Firefox to Safari but I haven’t found anything that can compete with uBO

  AdGuard is good. Not as good as uBO, but 98% of the time it gets the job done.

  My deshittification suite is NextDNS (Pi-hole as a service), 1Blocker (ad blocker, bought pre-subscription model), Rekt (block bags, redirect AMP), and Vinegar (replaces YouTube player). I use UBO on Chrome and find the above experience comparable.

      Thank you! It is great, and I now feel comfortable recommending it again.

  I’m not the person you asked, but I’ve been happy with 1Blocker. As a bonus it can also block ads and trackers outside the browser (that part only works on iOS).

  Been using wipr, I never see ads.

  I recently switched to Wipr [0]. It’s dead simple to use, and will auto update its filter lists in the background. It’s a one time purchase, not a subscription. Adguard [1] is a decent free option. I also use a Pi-hole [2] on my network. That blocks ads in apps (not in the browser) like Letterboxd for example.

Talking about complaining: On iOS I find it an absolute no-go not to have the choice of which browser I use because technically it is Safari anyway. So yes, you can't complain that Safari is worse than Firefox because Firefox is no real Firefox on iOS. However, I guess you are talking about MacOS.
