Hi, I'm just curious to know what your favorite web browser for the Mac and why? Also does anyone know of a site that gives a review/comparison between gecko and webkit (like different website views/functionalities between the 2, etc.)?
Got a tip for us?

I use Safari because it's there and does everything I need it to, competently. I tried Camino becuase I heard a lot of stuff about it but it did nothing different for me so I went back to Safari. I like firefox too, it's what I use for Windows & Linux
FireFox 2.0 99% of the time, but for the odd site that chokes I use Safari. I like the tabbing in FireFox and the several extensions I use daily for my work.... however, FireFox is a bit of a bloated resource hog sometimes, and I've noticed several glitches in the way it handles Flash (more down to the Flash plugin I suspect than the browser itself) which is irritating...
My favorite web browser on the Mac is OmniWeb. I like these things about it:
As for your other question, a Google search produced some interesting results.
- Incredibly fast. Faster than Firefox or Safari.
- Built-in ad blocking
- Graphical tabs - no other browser I know of has this feature
- Cookie management - a feature Firefox has, but Safari badly needs improved
- WebCore based, so Safari updates eventually benefit OmniWeb too
