I use Firefox. It works great and is extremely customizable due to it being open source. Plus it is not a mac or windows only app

I just like Safari because of the way I can pull tabs out into new windows and vice versa.

The find highlighting is nice as well, not that you can do that with extensions in other browsers anyway.

And at least when FF 2 was around it always seemed that little bit slower.

I was the same way with Safari for the first year that I had it, and then got really sick of it and switched to Firefox.

Safari! I used to use FireFox but I decided that Safari had a much cleaner and friendly interface.

I was a opera fan through out all my years in pc, you just couldnt beat it. Firefox was so ugly, and i needed to instal like a dozen extensions for me to do what i could do with Opera out of the box. (this sounds familiar, lol).

But was really disappointed to see the mac version of it, it just didn't feel right, so i had to let it go and move on to Safari. I do miss some stuff, but Safari is a very solid, stable browser, you really cant go wrong with it.

Check out the WebKit developer builds. It's the same safari browser, the super fast (faster than Tracemonkey as well)

I've been testing WebKit today. Super fast is right! AND... passes the Acid3 test.

Decision... decisions... ;-)

As a Windows user, I preferred Firefox over IE, and now that I am on a Mac again, I am using Firefox because of the add-ons. I use a Harley-Davidson theme that fits my style. I've only had my new Mac less than a week so I haven't really played with Safari much.

Firefox is where I've settled. Used Camino for a couple of years. Safari is IMO dead last in features and customizability among the top tier of browsers (although the way it handles multiple signatures is supreme among all). FF is hands down the most customizable, although I think Camino is maybe a bit faster and feels more "Mac-like". FF gets the nod for me.

After a while with Opera and Firefox, I'm back on Camino again.

It's fast, sleek and works with my netbank (Safari don't).

I still use Safari, now Safari 4 Developer Preview for 99% of my browsing and am also testing out the Webkit builds for the Webkit team.

I keep the latest versions of both Firefox and Opera installed for some problem sites and also to test out web pages in different browsers.
