Well...

A year after posting in this thread, I'll weigh in again. I use Camino for about 99% of my browsing at home. I've yet to find something that another browser does better for day to day use. It's light on resources, renders pages well (although it doesn't get the usbank bill-pay section right, but I haven't found anything besides IE that can render that), and has easy keyboard shortcuts, along with keychain integration.

mac book. Very sleek.
I use safari generally unless Im looking up porn (what?) in which case I use firefox as the "clear history" option seems to be alot more effective compared to safari (or internet explorer mind you). Both of those seem to still show your past searches beginning with whatever letter you press. At least when I click clear history on firefox its quite simply gone.

Safari and opera. But have been thinking about moving away from Safari, since it seems to make a lot of errors when watching stage6/divx clips.

Firefox. I wanted to use Safari with it being native to OSX and all, but I didn't realize how much I utilized the google toolbar until I didn't have it available to me. I bookmark websites using the toolbar so that I have access to them whether I'm at home on the Mac or on the road with my company's Dell laptop. I like almost everything else about Safari, but no google toolbar was a deal breaker for me.

I am sad to say that I have moved from FireFox to Safari ... for some strange reason as of the last 9 months or so I have noticed that FireFox is very very slow loading some pages (some dont even load) ... and it has happened in my ibook, macbook and macbook pro - so it has got to be a problem with FireFox. I just d/l the most recent beta version of FireFox and I have yet to test it.
