There's no reason not to use Safari on iPad. Apple requires that all web browsers on iOS have to use the same backend -- the WebKit renderer bundled with iOS. And until iOS 8, Safari was in a privileged position of being the only browser on iOS that was ALLOWED to use a particular optimization technique to speed up websites with interactive content. So you're fine there. :P

On desktop, I personally use Chrome. I stuck with Safari for a long time, but it gradually became clear that Safari was the reason my computer was performing badly, so I had to switch. I used Firefox back in Firefox's early days, but it had a really bad memory leak some time after 1.5 and before 4.0 that didn't get properly fixed for YEARS.
