I use camino. Works fantastic. I don't like Firefox because it take forever and a day to load and quit.

Safari. I was using Camino primarily for a while but it doesn't seem to display non-Latin characters properly a lot of the time.

I like Camino cos it works, and it blends in to the OSX better than firefox.

I go back and forth between Safari and Firefox. I used to use Explorer when it was free but when I got my new computer last year I switched to Safari and found it about the same as IE. There are a few things that don't work with it though and I didn't notice it until I started Blogging. On certain sites such as Blogger.com and selling on Ebay you don't have the edit features with Safari that you have with Firefox. In fact it's a huge difference and since I've started using firefox more and more I'm noticing how many more features I have access to. Anytime I do anything administrative with the web Firefox just offers more (unless there is a way to activate it with Safari, but if I have to look for it then I consider it a defect).

I've heard a number of complaints about Safari and java but I haven't noticed too much of that (unless that's what limits my type editing features). More and more I'm using Firefox and I'm planning to do it more yet. If I'm only going for speed browsing, then I go to Safari. Anything else, I use Firefox.

There is one problem I'm having with Firefox. For some reasons on a particular cgi script it keeps asking me if I want to download the script. It doesn't give me the option to follow the script in the browser and won't take me forward. It's only one or two site's I've noticed it on and I just use Safari for those but if anyone knows the fix for that let me know.

I keep Firefox around and use it occasionally. To me it does not have the Mac feel, appears more like a PC app. Although I think FF is a worthy browser.

If you look at the polls, it seems that firefox is catching up on the leading safari....

its too bad that I cannot try out the new safari on my Mac...
