Here is the hiraracy for you:
Chrome>Firefox>Opera>Safari>IE (and maybe IE10 is even better than crappy Safari)

Just checked their website and no Tab Mix Plus for Safari. There might be an alternative, but I had no luck finding any.

Also, OP wasn't asking about which browser was best, funny the first response was off topic :p

I use all three.

Safari for day to day stuff, FireFox for Firebug, and Chrome for Flash sites.

Unless you have some compelling reason to switch browsers, I'd just continue using Firefox. In my experience, the only browser worse than Safari is IE.

You said that you want to use Safari. I say go for it. There's nothing stopping you, and it's really not as bad as it's made out to be. There's also nothing stopping you from using both Safari and Firefox at the same time.
As far as people saying to use Chrome, I say don't bother. Chrome is severely limited in settings, and the Omnibox is a keylogger anyway.
(and as far as the comeback of "1 billion people using Facebook," to start this is a logical fallacy, and many large groups of people have been wrong before.)

As it always boils down to, use what you like best.

This is a most ambiguous question. Which metric/metrics is/are important to you? Over the past few years, many users grew to base their evaluations on the browser's score on the Acid3 test. IE (on Windows) scored in the 20s. Safari scored a perfect 100. Of the popular OS X browsers, their scores are currently:

  1. 100--Opera
  2. 100--SeaMonkey
  3. 100--Chromium
  4. 98--Nightly (Firefox)
  5. 97--Safari
  6. 97--WebKit
  7. 97--Firefox
  8. 95--Chrome

The Acid3 test score is just one metric. It may or may not be important to you. However, you should state the metrics that are important so that you and your advisors identify the browser that best fits your needs.

That said, you may run multiple browsers simultaneously. Except for the various versions of Firefox, OS X browsers do not interfere with each other.

Neither Chrome or Safari can touch tab management functionality via extensions as Firefox can. Stick with Firefox.

Is there a way to remove Cover Flow from bookmarks in Safari 6.0.3?

That big black window takes up space and I simply do not need it.

Yes. Simply look at your bookmarks, and then roll your mouse over the "bar" that separates your bookmarks from the cover-flow view. A little hand should appear. Once you see the little hand, click and drag your mouse to the top of the page. That will get rid of the cover-flow view.
