OS X Browser lineup

Along with Firefox and Safari I sometimes use iCab because iCab can emulate other browsers including Windows Explorer. This comes in handy on a few sites that are optimized for specific browsers.

I use Safari and Opera on my MAC. On the other machines of my home network, I use Opera and Netscape.

I only use Safari; it isn't perfect, but I don't need Firefox's extensions (or its crashes). The best thing about Safari (the only good thing for me) is WebKit. I love to see the pages I write being rendered precisely how they're meant to be.

The referenced article, though, was dreadful. The lowlight arrived early, when it was said that, "Safari is to OS X, as Internet Explorer is to Windows". Which is rubbish. The only two things those applications have in common are that they are the default browser on a platform, and they're browsers.

I really don't get all the people who are talking Camino, Firefox or others…
It's a fact that Safari IS the best browser for the Mac: http://webstandards.org/files/acid2/test.html#top

Safari is the only browser that makes my life, being a web designer, bearable, so come on people, use Safari!

Gecko sometimes will parse pages WebKit will not. Camino is lovely for being Cocoa Gecko, but FireFox usually cleans its clock, although it is carbon, merely because of its extensibility. Lots of useful extentions, terribly easy to add. Camino does not get this level of development from the community.

And I use OmniWeb because I regularly, every day, open more than 50 tabs at once. If you keep 13 tabs or less open at all times, you will never know how much better OmniWeb can be for this.

I've tried FireFox, Camino, DeskBrowse, and I used to use Safari. It wasn't until I found Shiira that I was truly happy with my browser. It has the same feel as Safari but it has to be at least 2x faster. But my favorite part is that it isn't slow like FireFox (in the UI), uses font smoothing (not like Gecko browsers), and like I said it feels a lot like Safari.

Opera.

Despite not working with internet banking, not being open source or at all extendable, and not being supported by Google Calendar, Writely and more, I love it and can't stay away. Super pretty, super fast, and so many great features - my favourite is that it remembers all your open tabs if it crashes which is fab!

I'd have to go with my pimped out Safari. I made the buttons look like Camino and gave it a unified look for a change of pace and with the page load hack, Inquisitor and SafariStand, It's all I ever need. I've tried the others but always come back to Safari. I've also hid the bookmarks bar and status bar so it looks really clean. It may not have all the extensions of Firefox but it does pretty well with the ones it does have. Inquisitor is really great and worth the money. SafariStand is essential and it's free!

Marc - What is a "sentenct"? ;-)

There's no way I'll give up Firefox's extensibility for another browser.
