I really can't decide which brower I like best; tried safari, camino and firefox...I don't really know the difference, so I guess it doesn't mean much to me. But does anyone have any input to sway me either way. I'd appreciate the help.

I believe that on your particular system that safari is slow. to bring it up to speed, delete the cookies. go into your library and delete the bookmark icons.Atlasland said:Safari is tooooo slow.
Camino doesn't have a very good tabbing system - i.e. you can only see a few tab markers at any one time (unlike Firefox which allows me at least 30 on my 20" iMac).
So Firefox wins. Though I would like to be able to use icons for my Bookmarks Toolbar, as aopposed to words (like in Camino).
No browser is more standards-compliant than Safari. It is my understanding that Opera now rivals Safari in its compliance with standards. Gecko-based browsers are not quite as standards-compliant, but they are close. There are, however, a lot of websites which are coded to Internet Explorer. BTW, Shiira is based on Webkit, not Gecko. It automatically picks up your Safari bookmarks.DerChef said:Safari on the OSX platform by a long way. It fits nicely into the Mac way of doing things and its the only Browser that handles RSS feeds anyway well on my slow dial up connection.
Opera is pretty and feature rich but is very incompatible with a large number of sites I have gone to.
Firefox is OK but I dont see anything that special about it. Plus its based on the Netscape Gecko rendering engine which was absolute pants
I have it on my machine mainly for its plugins and skins but rarely use it. On the PC platform I have found it shakey and unstable especially if you load it with plug ins
Shirra and Camino, Firefox with coats on
I will tell you this and its what I honestly believe on the PC platform Internet Explorer has the best and fastest rendering engine of any browser out there.
Havent tried Omniweb
