I’ve been trying to adopt Brave, but there are a few things that keep me using Safari in parallel:
- The auto-filling of 2FA codes sent to my phone
- The way it lays out the Favourites/Frequently Visited tiles in new tabs
- The Reading List, and specifically how useful it is as a very temporary container for links that I want to visit soon and can access and add to from any of my devices
I weaned myself off a lot of extensions, but one that exists in the Chrome/Brave universe that doesn’t have any comparable alternative for Safari is Mercury Reader. Not only is it an exceptional parser with beautiful styling (I vastly prefer it to Safari Reader) but it also has a nifty “send to Kindle” feature that I make use of a fair bit to send one-off longreads to my Kindle without having to pass through Pocket/Instapaper first.
