mac users : which browser?

[crispygoat]

For those who owns Macs, which browser do you use ? I understand if I was using Windows I'd get Firefox way before using IE, but IMO Safari is a great browser ? Which one do you use ?

Honestly I use both ... I just recently downloaded FF3 and I am liking it so far, but unfortunately there are a lot of poorly coded websites* that require me to use Safari from time to time.

*Note when I say poorly coded I mean websites that were obviously thrown together using a Windows bases WYSIWYG HTML tool and tested against IE only. Unfortunately most of the browsers out there are not fully W3C compliant and most websites use tags that each browsers handles just a little different than the next.

I use Camino. It's from the Mozilla foundation, and it's heavily based on firefox but with a more OS X feel: it plays nicely with keychain, for example. It's the best there is for the Mac IMHO.

If your looking for technical wise info ... depending on your system sometimes Safari is the better way to go especially if you dont have a lot of system memory. Firefox 1/2 both have massive footprints when it comes to RAM (meaning they will use a lot of RAM), and if you system doesnt have a lot, then FF 1/2 can seem pretty slow bringing up pages and doing just general surfing.

So the memory issue doesnt seem to be as present in FF 3 as I notice it loads faster initially and pages seem to render quicker than in previous versions.

Bon Echo...its a mac build for firefox. Its not fantastic but I got it just how I like so meh.

Safari irritates me and Opera is bloated IMO. Camino seemed cool but again, just have bon echo set up just so that I feel lost on other browsers!

Firefox 3, but I jump over to Safari from time to time.

Just checked out Camino, not bad.

I am using FF2 right now, will be upgrading to FF3 in a few weeks once the first update is out. I have Safari on mine, but I only used it to download FF.

This, to a tee.

I don't think I could use a browser that doesn't integrate with OS X's keychain. Does FF3 have this yet?

+1 on Camino, makes firefox seem slow and bulky.

My main browser is Camino, but I use Firefox and Safari (in that order) a lot also.

On my G4 running OSX 10.3.9 I use Safari...but I'm getting curious about FireFox. Or any other browser that at least behaves in a slightly more predictable way. Just minor quibbles, nothing heinously wrong with Safari.

I'm also still running an old beige desktop G3 (OS 9.2.2), and on that computer I switch between IE, Netscape Navigator, & iCab.

I use safari about 90% of the times and firefox 9%.
I will use opera and camino sometimes...

[srh]

firefox..

for me it just seems everything runs faster under firefox.

I don't understand how most of you use more than one browser...
