A stack of browsers
I was a very happy Arc user for a couple of years, but after The Browser Company announced they would no longer be working on it, I started to assess alternatives.
Now I’ve ended up with a stack of browsers, instead of reaching for a single browser to do all the things.
Polypane
For dev work involving designing, layout and styling.
Chrome
For all other dev work.
Horse
For general internet usage. Horse is a niche one that I imagine is only appealing to a small subset of people, of which I just happen to be a part of. If you are less typical, always open links in a new tab, and have about 200 tabs open at a time “just in case” you want to go back to one… Horse might appeal to you.
Polypane and Horse both require subscriptions, but I’m cool with that. Especially for indie apps.

W.r.t Horse, I would like to offer Firefox with Sidebery extension as an alternative. I've found it quite performant personally although I've never tried it on a Mac but have used it in the past to manage 1000+ tabs.
