I use Firefox and prefer it to Safari. Haven't really used Camino enough to make a judgment. As for IE, you must be kidding. One of the nice things about having a Mac is that you can be completely rid of IE.

I use firefox and opera when it doesn't work with something. Never really got into safari personally.

safari is much quicker than firefox on my mac, i find it really sluggish.

i also much prefer the RSS reader on safari.

however there are a lot more add-ons for firefox

I use firefox on my mac for main browsing, but recently it has crashed on me twice.

I use firefox on my PC as well so it just makes it easier using the two browsers as I am familiar with all the hings and they are pretty simple and quick to use.

I used to use opera as my secondary browser on mac but that kept on causing a few problems.

I use safari now for my secondary browser, and for ebay n stuff (to keep my email accounts seperate).

mm, safari first, firefox second.
gets me thinking about opera, it used to be pretty quick. Hated the adverts in it tho. Dunno if its changed since ten...

firefox's ui just doesn't "fit in" on a mac - camino does the same job as a rendering engine, but a more mac-like experience

I use Safari simply because it works the quickest and seems the least memory hungry (although leaving it open 5-6 days with several sets of tabs does pull upwards of 1.4GB VM).

I use FF on my mac and at work on my Windows machine. The plugins are now so good I can sync everything I do with it so it's like I'm always using the same setup.

I have had a look at some other browsers and none offer the same advantages FF has over the market.

I also use mozilla.

I like Safari's look & feel but there are too many small annoyances with it- such as Google search box searches .com, not .co.uk (and opens search in current tab), context menu items are slightly annoying (I don't always want to download a file to the same default location, and I doubt I will ever need to add an image to my iPhoto library from a webpage), history can't be organised by site, dragging an url from highlighted text to the tab bar must have a http:// prefix... etc etc
(I've now found that holding alt in a context menu gives you the option to 'save as...', which is a godsend)

So I tend to use Firefox, which occasionally eats my CPU but is generally well behaved and has fast page searching and some nice extensions.

Voted for Firefox - simple reason in that some sites don't seem to work with Safari (ordering from PCWorld - c@s, comes to mind). Apart from that, both are great browsers imo

On my old mac (G3 - 300mhz OS X) Opera seems to be the quickest out of all of them...

On my new macbook I am using Firefox 2.0. haven't had any problems.

I use FF on my Windows Desktop also. I use a few plug ins that can be used on both operating systems.

I'm glad to be rid of IE6 and 7 now!

Voted Firefox. I used safari exclusively for 3 weeks to see if I'd like it. I switched back to firefox because I liked things like double clicking on the tab bar to bring up a new tab and double clicking on a tab to close it (with an extension). It was the little things like that that made me change back.
