As you said it is very subjective. I can tell only my own opinion.

So far I have tried Safari, Opera, Firefox and Camino. Out of all what I really like is Camino. It is minimalistic, fast and has a nice interface.

Yeah , so far Camino has been my favourite.

I have just downloaded the Deerpark version of Firefox and so far I am equally impressed.
Firefox was my favourite browser when using Windows PC's.

One of the great advantage of firefox is the amount of cool plug-ins available. Since I am using both Macs and PCs, it is important for me to keep the bookmarks sysncronized. So I have installed "Foxmarks" in both Mac and PC and now I can switch between different system without bothering about bookmarks. However too many plug-ins may slow down your browser, there again it is your own choice.

+1 for Safari on Mac.

I've got Firefox on my work machine. (PC)

I've tried pretty much all of the browsers for OSX and I keep coming back to Safari.

I have tried them all numerous times, I like Opera and shiira. I find Safari a boring browser, Opera is great after
you take the time to set it up.

Flock is an up-and-comer that I am really liking. I mostly use Firefox and then Safari, but Im getting close to the point of working with Flock a lot more.

Another vote for Camino. I've tried Safari, Firefox, IE, and the demo of Opera. Still love Camino.

Fiery, your sig is too big. It's probably about to be replaced with something else...

Here
is a list of most of the browsers for Mac
Personally I just keep on coming back to Safari, I liked Firefox on Windows but on Mac I absoloutley hate it!
Maybe with Safari, the next version, there will be a tab browsing option!
Anyway I vote for Safari!
