Man, I have an M1 Mac and downloaded Chrome about a week ago. This thing drains my battery. I mean, I still get 10 hours out of the machine, but it's extraordinarily bad - running Chrome made me hear my Mac's fans for the first time since I bought it (>2 years)!

Safari isn't a browser I like, but one that I need to use - every other browser is simply too inefficient.

You could try Orion[0] which is based on Safari. It fixes a lot of issues I have with Safari. It's also available for iOS and does even support uBlock Origin on iOS.

Orion is great, but it does have some extension compatibility issues. One huge annoyance for me is 1Password. Apparently, they refuse to whitelist Orion because it’s a niche browser. I’m all for more people using it so they change their minds.
