I want to make some tests for websites, how they appear to several browsers and I want to know which browser in osx is the most weird one.
Most people asking for the most compatible browser and we all want a site to be ok when we visit it with several browsers.

But in my case I want to be sure that even with the latest-in popularity- mac browser, everything is displayed as it should.

So, besides firefox/opera/safari/cruz/sunrise/fluid/omniweb/camino browsers, which other browser do you suggest to check, in order to eliminate chances of something goes wrong in website appearance?
 
I'm not sure I would do all those browsers. I haven't even heard of half of them, but IMHO you should shoot for:
  • FF 3.0+
  • FF 4.0
  • Chrome
  • Safari
  • Internet Explorer 7.0
  • Internet Explorer 8.0
  • Internet Explorer 9.0
And if you want to be extra special and server to the lowest 2-3%:
  • Internet Explorer 6.0
  • Firefox 2.0

Make sure you test all of those, in both Windows & OSX.

And Have FUN!
 
IE 6 will be the death of me. My workplace still uses that turd of a browser and has locked out install privileges. Firefox portable is a godsend!!

Interestingly, it seems that many people still use it outside of companies. I created website for a charity and just glancing at the Google Analytics, it was the second most popular browser.

I say. If you're still using IE 6, you don't deserve to see the web in all its glory.
