Which browser should I use?

[gadgetgirl85]

I'm currently using the firefox beta. Its fast but crashes frequently! Any other good browsers with tabs?

I think Safari is great. Tabs, of course, as well as RSS integration, spell checking, etc. Works fine for me.

I switched back to normal version of firefox. Slightly slower but hopefully more stable! I had to forcequit the beta ever 5 mins

works for me, and it should for you since spelling is a cocoa built in system. sure you have check spelling as you type on? ( Edit --> Spelling --> Check Spelling as you type )

I get the spellcheck function too in Safari. Not in this version of firefox I did in the beta one I downloaded.

my thoughts on whats available:

firefox - very nice. ui not mac style.
camino - ui mac style. slightly faster than safari. nothing wows me.
shiiri - havent tried yet
safari - ui mac style (duh). fast. dependable. winner (by default?).

i would like to see safari get some firefox style extension development.

Use them all. Pick the one you like best

wait til shiira 2 gets out of beta.

opera but the UI is pretty ugly

Camino is great. It's quick and simple, has great security features, has spell check, and it's made just for mac. If you can do without RSS a weather extension or an itunes controller on your browser, Camino is for you.

PS: I found out that they plan to install an RSS detector in ver. 1.1. But if you absolutely need RSS, use this http://www.edot-studios.com/webgroups2/index.php?menu_item=212

Few browsers can match Lynx when it comes to speed. Of course you have to forgo any plugins... and javascript... and images... but it is fast...

 

[MacRumoron]

i think the fact that camino doesn't support RSS is the only thing that is stopping me from leaving safari

safari isn't stable for me, i to always have to relaunch it

 

[PlaceofDis]

use whichever one you prefer the most? for me thats Camino.

 

[iHotu]

Camino, now that it has spell checking

 

[Glen Quagmire]

I like Safari. Pretty fast, decent features, add PithHelmet to it and you get decent ad-blocking.

Opera's not bad either, but the UI isn't that nice on a Mac.

I've never really rated Firefox or its derivatives that highly.

Try Flock if you blog or use Flickr/Photobucket--you can manage your photos or blog directly from Flock. Its the same as firefox but a nicer skin and some cool extras. Otherwise, I use Camino or Safari.

Safari for me. I find Firefox pretty awful on OSX - slow, slow, slow. Strange how Firefox is very fast in Windows though

its because FF for Mac is a Windows app ported to OS X. which is why there are better results with the same rendering engine in Camino, a native OS X app.

I don't think this has ever been discussed before...
