As some readers will recall, right after Apple launched the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with Apple Silicon last October, many users started reporting jerky issues while browsing in Apple’s Safari.
While some users have reported that they have noticed that Safari scrolls and performs more smoothly on these Macs after updating to macOS Monterey 12.2Apple has never officially confirmed that ProMotion works in its own browser for Mac. That’s why anyone who isn’t yet convinced they’re seeing optimal refresh rates in Safari now has at least one alternative option to use a browser that should be able to run ProMotion at full capacity.
Firefox 103 also offers improved responsiveness on macOS during periods of high CPU load, which is achieved by switching to a modern blocking API, according to the release notes.
