What browser do you use with OSX? I currently use Firefox, though I may switch to Shiira after the stable release of 2.0 comes out. Safari, though still lightyears beyond Internet Explorer, still lags behind the competition, despite having slightly better load times. Perhaps with Leopard, it'll come with an upgrade good enough that I can switch to that (as I would love to to take better advantage of .Mac stuff).

I did use Firefox, but for all the extensibility, I found that Camino had all the features I needed with a lower memory footprint and, bizarrely, a cooler running temperature !??

I use camino , since it has spell check I'm loving it. I admit I don't like FF but I'm using Bon Echo, much faster than FF and has a built in spell checker.

I use camino 99% of the time. The other 1% I will use Safari just to change it up a bit.
