This is, as you've stated, purely opinion. Although I really like Safari, I've been using Firefox lately.

Well the "best" is purely subjective. I think most Tiger and Leopard users tend to prefer Safari. I use Firefox on my Powerbook because it runs 10.3 and Safari hasn't kept up on that version of the OS. I used to use Opera on Windows, but haven't given it a much thought since switching. I think I may look at it again for kicks now that you mention it.

I prefer to use Firefox. Safari lacks in a few things I like on Firefox. That's my reason for using FF.
