The Best Browsers According to Reddit

Windows Redditors prefer a well-rounded browser, while macOS users favor Safari

Google Chrome is still the most used browser worldwide, having much more market share compared to its competitors. However, since Redditors take privacy seriously, it’s one of the least liked browsers on Reddit. Google Chrome is known as one of the less private browsers in the market since it uses a significant amount of users’ data to deliver better-targeted ads.

Nevertheless, it’s not only privacy that Reddit and Windows users want from a browser. In fact, they want a well-rounded browser that offers a generous amount of customization, ease of use, and excellent performance both in speed and resource usage. Moreover, if the browser also has an ad blocker and anti-tracking built-in, even better. The competition ends up being between the veteran Firefox and the new kid on the block, Brave. Although Firefox is still winning, Brave is gaining considerable traction recently and has become the favorite of many Redditors around the world.

On the macOS users’ side, performance is, without a doubt, the primary concern. In this case, when we talk about performance, we’re particularly addressing power usage. In other words, macOS Redditors want their battery to last as long as possible, and their browser needs to contribute to that. Therefore, it’s no surprise that Apple’s browser service, Safari, is the preferred one. Not only is it built to work flawlessly with Apple products, but it also offers synchronization among all Apple devices, something that Redditors see as an essential factor as well.
