Web Browsers?

[Justin Laramee]

I personally use Camino at the moment. The latest nightly is really stable, and uses less resources than Safari.
What do you use?

[Nick Cotton]

I've tried a lot of browsers but I still keep coming back to Safari. I guess I'm just so used to everything, especially the keyboard shortcuts, they always seem to throw me whenever I use other browsers.

I'm also interested to see where Shiira is going, they have some great ideas there but development is quite slow.

Likewise I always come back to Safari, especially enhanced with Saft (http://haoli.dnsalias.com/Saft/index.html), PithHelmet (http://www.culater.net/software/PithHelmet/PithHelmet.php) and Inquisitor (http://www.inquisitorx.com/safari/).

I also highly recommend BookDog (http://sheepsystems.com/products/bookdog/) for organising, sorting and verifying your bookmarks. It will also sync them between all your browsers.

I have Camino for those few sites that just will not work with Safari.

If I had to switch permanently to another browser, it would be Omniweb. Seeing as Leopard will do away apparently with input managers, I might have to...

OmniWeb (http://macapper.com/2007/04/09/omniweb-a-better-browser/), but Shiira is very interesting to me.

I'm somehow always falling back to Firefox thanks to Firebug, Stylish and Greasemonkey. At least I haven't yet found aything as powerful and easy to use for Safari.

I currently use Firefox, and have for about 4 or years now.

However, due to a number of reasons, I plan on switching over to Safari. It's just a matter of tweaking it to my liking and exporting numerous bookmarks.

[Alex]

like the others, I always come back to Safari, mainly because of its quick startup time and simplicity.

I have used Firefox for a number of years now. but I keep finding myself looking at Safari and wanting to try it properly instead of for 2 mins when I first got my Mac. Is it simple to import Firefox bookmarks into Safari?. Another reason for possibly switching is because I have always felt Firefox is not the most resource friendly app.

[John]

One of the killer features for me with Safari is the tight Keychain integration.

[Tsukari]

I use Flock, which is basically firefox, but with blogging related tools and integration with del.icio.us for bookmarks. I mostly stay with it because of its photobar tool, because I can easily throw images into my photobucket and throw them out of my photobucket into forums. Part of me wants to dump it but I've grown too reliant on the photobar at this point. :/

[decryption]

I just use FireFox because of all the awesome plugins available. Otherwise I'd be using Safari with the latest version of WebKit installed (it's pretty damn fast).

[zerok]

Too bad that PithHelmet doesn't work with the WebKit nightlies :-(

I was a long time Firefox user and just got frustrated with several bugs in the latest release, so I recently switched to Safari. It's a lot faster, never crashes on me and I decided on using it after download and trying out OmniWeb, Camino, Flock, Opera and iCab. I liked Safari best and love inquisitor. I'm thinking about getting saft, but I haven't had any problems with switching to Safari. I thought I might miss my extesions, but I find myself not needing them.

I too am getting concerned with how much Fox crashes. It is waaaay too useful for doing any webdev work so I sure hope they start addressing some of the memory leak issues and random crashing. At least it crashes less than it does in Windoze I spose :unsure:

Inquisitor rocks my searching world.

Saft is very useful too, money well spent. I am not sure of its future with Leopard though...

i personally use firefox for the most of the time, cos it support more extension for other purpose than safari by default, anyway , safari 3 is great browser, i wish one day all firefox extension will works with safari. i wish

[Jack Cory]

i just ditched safari for camino, love it

[wpholmes]

I use Shiira mostly, but sometimes it gets buggy and I use Firefox.

[HiddenPooh]

I purchased OmniWeb some time ago and have always enjoyed using it. Recently, I've been tempted back onto Safari some of the time by excellent plugins such as Piclens (http://www.piclens.com/safari/) and Inquisitor (http://www.inquisitorx.com/safari/). However, I understand from some recent blog entries that plugins such as this may not be supported under Leopard, so I guess it will be back to OmniWeb for me.
