Hands down the best web browser for
macOS. It's way more lightweight, fast and less ressource hungry than 
Google Chrome and 
Mozilla Firefox. It's less customizable and has less extensions than the competition but it's enought for 95% of the people.
This garbage is the reason we can't use modern web solutions and image/video formats
Dependable web browser built into macOS. Not much in the way of bells and whistles, but it does offer the usual bookmarks, autofill, reading mode, private windows, etc. And it'll install PWAs on a desktop.
All that said,
Orion Browser is also WebKit under the hood, has more features, and can use most Chrome/Firefox extensions.
It's stable, smooth has good extension support. Uses low resources.
There is still an old Windows version, but it is outdated and unreliable.
Of course, this will be blazingly fast on Mac because it is MacOS' native browser. But it's more just like IE on steroids when comparing to Chrome and Firefox.
Behind Chromium and Firefox but usable if you have basic needs...
