Best alternate Internet browser

[cgnjny]

I am really enjoying Safari as my "default" browser but have encountered problems with surfing some Web sites as I get activity errors and "erroneous" Web page layouts.

I'm a former IE user prior to Safari and am looking for a secondary browser as back-up.

Anyone care to recommend one? I admire Safari's speed, but want to have another one on hand.

Thanks.

ps:
Not interested in tech-specs.. but more into end-user usability.. Web speed, intuitive interface, good all-around Web browsing experience.

firefox or you can just use ie thats in your applications folder for those little inconveniences

I love Firefox. Pages load extremely quickly for me, more so than with Safari.

I like Camino as well, but it's not quite as snappy as Firefox.

Camino is pretty solid.

I've not found a browser faster than Opera , but I can't standard web adverts and the thing is full of them. So Camino gets my vote.

I'm with dotnina - I'd recommend Firefox as a secondary browser, since I use it myself for that very purpose.

Try Shiira, it's almost a Safari copycat as it's developed with apple's webkit and it's practically the same but with another face and functions, it lets you have safari bookmarks without exporting/importing them... I'm giving a try, you could make your own browser if you have time

In case you don't know where to get Shiira from, here's a link to the Shiira homepage.

Ofcourse you have the regular mozilla, its almost like firefox.
The reason why i use mozilla instead of firefox is that is faster to hide/show your sidebar in mozilla than in firefox.

Lynx is probably the fastest I have seen

Anyways. Mine rank Safari, FireFox, Mozilla, Camino

I haven't found a site yet (not that I surf that much) that Safari or FireFox couldn't handle.

I think you said that in jest, but it is so true. Lynx blows all other browers away in speed.

But since lynx is not too useful, I'd go with firefox.

For me I use Safari about 99.9% of the time. That .1% is in FireFox. On Windows its all FireFox baby.
