Your buying a BMW yet you use Myspace? What are you, a 14 year-old millionaire?

Safari and Camino as backup for me. Second the whole Firefox-is-nasty-on-a-Mac thing.

To answer your first question, no i am not buying a BMW, I already own one. e92 335i. I've had it for 1 year already.

As for myspace, yes i do use myspace. No I'm not 14 year old. I use Myspace to leave comments with my friends from the Jiu-Jitsu academy, sometimes after training, maybe if there's a party the guys going to that weekend, or just a happy birthday. Also friend from work have it so it's cool. I don't believe you have to be 14 years old to do things like that?

And no I'm not a millionaire. My whole family owns BMW's. My niece is in the market for one pretty soon.

We like the cars they put out, and that's another topic.

BTW-Some are financed and most already paid for. Mine i still have a balance of under $10,000.
 
I use them all, depending on what I am doing and whether some sites only allow certain browsers.

So, in order by preference:

1) Safari

2) Opera

3) Netscape

4) Firefox

5) IE
 
I use Opera as I need to synchronise my bookmarks with work. I've been using Opera since version 6.0 and it works on Mac OS X, so I see no need to change.

If a page acts up, I try Safari or Firefox, but the last time I had a page act up on me I can't remember.
 
I have Safari and Firefox on the dock. Safari is probably used 95% of the time. Is quicker to load (fewer bounces) and seems faster overall.
 
Wirelessly posted (Mozilla/5.0 (iPod; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/4A93 Safari/419.3)

Currently, I mainly use Firefox 2.
 
I've been using safari for ages now but have recently been trying out some new ones and the best seems to be shiira...

I've had a few problems with moving my bookmarks in from safari but it looks so slick.

Anyone else been using it?
 
Most epic browser ever (IE 5). Though, how many people use Real Player's web browser?

Camino nightly builds as my primary browser
The odd time Webkit to do online shopping or pull content from a site I would have otherwise had to shuffle around for.
 
I always use Safari 3, be it on a Mac or a PC.
I use it because it is the best looking browser, and it doesn't eat all my vertical screen real estate with useless tool bars.
 
I'm in the process of going through another period where I'm trying to like Safari. I do that every few months. I'm giving it a fair shake, but some of the features it's lacking really annoy me:

1. The lack of a single-window browsing mode. I'm a tab man. I hate links that surprise me with new windows.

2. Surfing without Firefox's AdBlocker plugin is a depressing experience. Even on this very site. I had no idea there were ads on the top of and bottom of this forum until I tried using Safari.

3. The fact that I can't set up multiple home page tabs. I can use the "open in tabs" feature, but prefer not to have an extra click if I don't have to.

4. Only one integrated search engine. I dig Firefox's built-in Amazon, eBay and Wikipedia searches.

I keep coming back to try Safari again because:

1. Pages load fast.

2. It's pretty.

3. Dig the round form buttons.
 
Firefox. Couldn't live without the customizable search bar at the top. But I skinned it to look like safari because it has a slick look.
 
The more I try, the harder it gets.

I'm already missing the auto-complete in the Google search.

I'm annoyed that, when I close a tab in Safari, it goes back to the next tab in the stacking order, rather than the last tab I was on.
