Mac Pro Quad Core 2.66GHz Intel Xeon | 3GB RAMM | OSX10.6 | Adobe CS4
I use Opera

I like the BitTorrent client, email, RSS feed reader, mouse gestures, speed dial. The add-on 'widgets' can be useful & fun (or not). Page loads are OK.

I wish it had a FTP client such as Firefox's 'Fire FTP' but I just use Filezilla.

I go on Safari and Firefox evenly.
I don't exactly mind either...

Thanks for the heads up. I am an ADC member and kept putting off trying out Safari 4. Just installed it. Very nice.

Same here, I tried to like and keep using Safari just because its native to Mac, but I like the growl notifications, and add on's in Firefox 3. To me they look and work basically the same, but the few extra features of Firefox led me to start using that for now.

Just realized growl had an update for use with safari so I guess I'll keep using Safari haha.

I love Safari. But I use Firefox and I love it too. The problem with Safari is that there are still some plug-ins that are not working. For example RealPlayer plugin. If I am watching flash media or some other content on YouTube or various other website, realplayer has this option pop on right top corner to download the video. It works with Firefox quite well, especailly, on Windows but it doesn't work on Safari. I did not try on Safari for Mac as I recently bought a iMac and don't have realplayer installed.

I am also waiting for new MBP with full HD screen and blu ray and better graphics.
