Your Mac's Specs
2.6GHz Core i7 15" MacBook Pro - 8GB DDR3 SDRAM - 750GB 7200 RPM HDD - GeForce 650M GT 1GB VRAM
I use Webkit nightlies except when I need Adobe and Java plugins to work properly. In those cases, I use regular Safari. I would use Safari all the time, but it does not render pages as accurately as the more recent Webkit nightlies do (ignoring styling on buttons being my primary peeve with Safari). If Firefox ever gets its zoom button to work like Safari's does (change window size to be just as big as it needs to accomodate a webpage), I'll switch to that in a heartbeat though; the extensions are nice, as is the pipelining.

Since getting the new internet connection, I've moved over to using Safari (might as well keep it safe!) but I have FireFox for when massive multi-window browsing is required!

Up until last week I used Safari primarily and Firefox as secondary. But this week I downloaded Camino, and it has become my primary one. Much faster than either one.

Firefox on everything. Got used to the layout, and the Foxmarks plugin makes things a lot easier (lets me keep my bookmarks synced on all my computers)

Opera. More out of habit than anything else. All the browsers I've tried on mac are decent, I'm just used to the layout and know how to change it to my liking. I used it on Windows since version 4 or 5, and brought it with me since changing. Only thing I miss is the OS integration, which works much better in FF and Safari.

Currently using Safari since it came with the OS.

Used to have FireFox on PC and I've been thinking about changing back to it, since I'm more familiar with it and FF contains features I haven't found in Safari, eg. Force all links to open in new tabs instead of windows (without any additional key combos).
