Best web browser for my mac?

[AdamA9]

I use the default Safari as it seems quicker than Chrome to me. No need to change with the internet speed I already get

 

[SnailMailFTW]

Chrome is cool. I definitely like how one of the main focuses with Chrome is speed.

 

[delux246]

I really like crome. I used to use firefox but I like crome better.

I don't think you can really go wrong with any browser choice these days. Chrome is great, Safari is great, I love the plethora of add-ons available for Firefox. Opera is great as well. I use them all on a near-daily basis since I do web development full-time.

I find myself using Safari most of the time on the Mac for regular browsing, though.

I started out with Firefox and still with Firefox. I love it over all the others. But I have Safari, Opera, IE, Firefox, Chrome and all of that installed.

Try them all and decide for yourself. No one can answer this question for you. Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks and all...

Safari for me here. Not a fan of firefox or camino

I used Safari since the day I got my first mac just over a year and a half ago till about a month ago. I just can't get into Firefox for mac (Which I used in my windows days haa) I don't know why lol. I think google chrome is a very good browser. I find it simple to use so I switched to using google chrome just about a month ago but just the other day I started getting too many problems with it. Was taking forever to load pages and then it'd come up with an option to kill the pages! So i just uninstalled and went back to Safari.

so from me my choices are Safari/Chrome. it might just be me but if Safari had an easier way to remember usernames and passwords then I would use Safari all the time.

Yep. The best one is the one that works for you.

Firefox for me, but it really is a personal choice

 

[bobr1952]

Like most things, a personal choice--my personal choice is Safari.

 

[9822737]

Really is down to personal choice as no browser can be prove to be the 'best'. I prefer Safari but i'm a Chrome user in a Windows environment so intend to try the Mac version very soon.

I've been a Firefox user for years, but it is starting to get on my nerves. With every major release, they keep saying they have fixed the memory leak issues. O RLY? Sitting here on my Mini with 5 tabs open with a Firefox session that has been open about 2 days, it is using 325MB (according to iStat Menu). I have seen it go over 700MB before.

The problem is I don't really like Safari. I haven't tried Chrome, so I can't comment on it.

Safari gives you slightly more browsing space than firefox default.

Left Safari, Right Firefox

Camino is "best" for me.
To be more specific - my own 2.1a1pre build running on Gecko 1.9.2.4pre

I second Camino. Not as extensible as FireFox, but it is a pretty quick browser.

 

[bobbytomorow]

Primarily Firefox (for its extensions and themes)

Also Omniweb for its speed and if Firefox is ever giving me greif

I tried Camino but nothing about it jumped out at me. What advantages does it have over other browsers out there?

You do know that you can make firefox give you a little more screen real estate by making the back and front arrows smaller. Like I did. I use both firefox and safari but i need the add ons so i use firefox primarily

 

[kxfrog]

Safari definately i have every browser installed you could ever want and only ever use safari... or firefox... or chrome

 

[celticpride678]

I use Chrome. It's fast and stable. It's only gonna get better with updates also.

Fast. Doesn't have a lot of junk. Decent history/bookmark/download management.

I was intrigued about the Minefield comment - I am not a fan of Firefox generally but I downloaded Minefield to see if the claims of super-speed really stacked up against Safari 4

Well Minefield claims blazing fast javascript so I ran over to SunSpider and got this....

** TOTAL **:           *1.83x as slow*   466.8ms +/- 1.7%   853.0ms +/- 2.3%     significant

Minefield is almost twice as slow as Safari 4
