I use Firefox almost exclusively, for the continual updates compared to Safari. Apple really wants you to update the OS, and seemingly reluctantly updates Safari separately.

I have used Firefox, Safari and Opera with GhostText, the life-saving extension for text boxes like this one. The associated text editor never loses content, though on a site that allows preview of typing (hint, hint), the editor connection is lost when a preview is had, though that's informal versioning, when you click on its icon again and get another editor page/file FWIW.

Key reason to use Firefox: a plethora of extensions, top of the list, ublock-origin. Other mainstays: cookie deleters, Dark Reader, and nag/paywall busters, plus the wonderful IMSLP delay-killer, the ultimate nag of all nags. Wait 15 seconds (or not!) to watch them beg for money for serving public domain music scores.
