I use Safari. Except when I had to use Firefox to watch Setanta soccer matches for some reason, but then they went out of business during the whole meltdown thing. I like Safari, the 1st screen with your favorite sites shown visually is always oddly satisfying. Firefox seems solid too though.

i prefer firefox because the hotkeys are more logical. command + 1,2,3,4... toggles through tabs.

I have an early 2007 Macbook(black) and I find that it can't handle Safari and drags like crazy.
I installed Firefox and everything is smokin'.

Of course I still use Tiger on it, so that might have something to do with it.

isn't chrome in beta, what's the point of chrome anyway is it that much better, what does it do for you that firefox won't?

I've just decided to move my general computer duties to the mac side of my macbook
I use windows exclusively til now for the most part but I need to keep my windows side for music only.

Safari, except for those sites that don't work properly on Safari -then it's Firefox to the rescue.

hotkeys is great. why don't you just specify all the hotkeys you want? one of my favourite options in osx

seems like everything is in beta these days :twisted:

It is much faster than firefox.. apart from that there is no real reason to upgrade...
It is like a nice combination of safari and firefox...
