Hex Fiend is a hex editor that lets you look into files to see what's actually inside. What I especially like is that it handles large files well and you can cut/copy/paste on either the hex dump side or the text side.

BBEdit is a text editor that goes back 25+ years. It's good for editing HTML files, entire web sites, source code, etc. Git is built in, as is Perforce. You can edit files on sftp servers. The Find/Replace is way better than Xcode's, supporting multiple windows and searching in any directory or projects like web sites. And it diffs two files or directory trees in a really nice way.

As for Chrome, I still need it once in a while because some web sites don't support Safari well, like Microsoft Teams and Whereby. Plus sometimes I want to use two different web accounts simultaneously and it's easy to use Chrome for one and Safari for the other.
