Learn how to open a webpage in Safari in another browser in an instant without having to copy the URL, switch to another app, and paste the link there.
Some websites don’t work in Apple’s Safari browser properly, especially old, government, and educational websites. In my case, Safari struggles to play Twitter videos on my MacBook. And even when it does, I prefer watching lengthy videos using Firefox’s built-in Picture in Picture feature because it’s the best in the business. As you can image, I often send web videos encountered in Safari to Firefox.
