@gregatron5@vmst.io my Mac fallback has just been regular Firefox for a while now. I haven’t used Chrome in years and don’t even have a Chromium browser installed. I ran into a weird problem where the Chrome Updater process was always consuming a bunch of CPU even after a fresh reboot, and the problem persisted across a few uninstall/reinstall cycles. I tried Chrome Canary at the time and still had the same problem, so I just deleted it and never looked back. Safari was so much better at memory management by then anyway, so I didn’t miss it.

@fedward@distraction.party Ah. My daughter streams on Twitch and I have some meetings on Google Meet, both of which are shit in Safari, so I use Vivaldi for those and whenever Safari else doesn't seem to work well *cough*makerworld*cough*, which is fortunately increasingly rare. Haven't touched Chrome itself in years, nor do I have any desire to again. I could probably use FF or Zen instead of Vivaldi, but since most sites are “optimized for Chrome" I figure a chromium-based browser is probably less of a hassle.
