I use Firefox, was a lot faster when I was on 56k, but now I have cable so both are the same to me, except all my bookmarks are on Firefox and there's no need to go back to Safari since really I see no difference, they both work.

Yeah, Safari's just...I don't know, but I use it. Whatever. But you know, there's a recent web browser from Japan, called Shiira, that I occasionally use.

You might want to check it out:

I think IE was put on the Mac just to remind us all about how much MS software really blows.

I do, however, like MS Office, they did a nice job.

My favourite browser

Every now and then ppl ask about the favourite browser. Here I have listed some of the most common browser(not in any particular order). Please vote for your favourite and may be give an explantion to why you selected it. Hopefully this might reduce the effort of fellow members who have to repeat the same answer again and again.

There doesn't seem to be anything listed.

I use Firefox, because I used it under Windows and there didn't seem to be any reason to switch. The only advantage Safari gives, in my opinion, is that it launches much quicker. However once both are up and running, Firefox is marginally faster for rendering (I think). FF is more customizable, I love the mouse hints and plugins, and it's nice to have a browser you know works the same across many OSes

Not a fan of Firefox. Slower than Safari and doesn't look as nice.

Safari for me

Firefox user. Nice to use the same browser on 3 different platforms. I think I'd really like Omniweb for Mac though... I just hate how the tabs open.
