So which one is better?
i cant decide, I am also ways swapping between each of them. I like bits from each. so what one do you use and why?
 
Why not use both?

My work email web interface (Office something or other) works better in Safari than in other browsers. I do a lot of browsing with Flock because I have all my RSS feeds there. I use Camino for techy sites. I have Opera (for no real purpose) and I keep Firefox around because it seems to be treated better at some commercial web sites that think Macs have insufficient market share.

I know it sounds like a wasteful set-up but four family members use this one machine, and they're all comfortable with Safari. (we use only one account.) We can surf without getting in each other's way.

I tend to flick between the 2


Some website require IE or firefox to do this that and other so i just do that



They are my favorite 2

But i prefer Safari to all.

Amazing fast and reliable!

I use Safari 99% of the time because it just feels more streamlined in OS X, Me, etc. I only go to Firefox if there is a site not compatible with Safari.

I am very curious about Google's new browser Chrome. Unfortunately, there is no Mac version currently available. Soon though... soon.
 
I tend to use firefox only for adblock plus.

Any plugin that really works for safari ?
 
I face the same dilemma as I am about to make the switch to Mac. I currently use FireFox 3. Main reason to stay are the add-ons. I use Shareaholic, Adblock, and Download Status Bar. In FireFox 3.1, they are going to have a new Javascript engine that is supposidly even faster than Chrome. So I'm leaning towards sticking with FireFox 3.
 
To me, Firefox always has felt like an unpolished app. Safari, on the other hand is very polished, integrates into the UI extremely well and is fast. The only reason I'd go for Firefox would be because of some obscure extension that you have to have as Safari has equivalents to all the major Firefox extensions.
