I couldn't state it better, but I have recently been liking Chrome much more than Firefox. I only installed Chrome a month ago, but go back to it more and more every week.
Safari is still my daily browser.

That was a ridiculous test. You're never going to be doing anything near that benchmark. Same with the javascript. These browser wars all come down to preference. Nothing more. Some people like to have everything Apple. Some people are interested in open source groups. And others bow to the all mighty Google.
And to answer the poll. I use Firefox now, but I'm going to switch to Opera once it comes out of Alpha all written in cocoa. The Theme looks better and I like the way they do tabs.

Opera fan here.
I use all 3, but I primarily use Opera. ( I love how fast it is and the turbo feature )

I see it's cocoa version of firefox...and firefox is gecko-based...

Minefield
Version: 3.6a1pre || Release Date: 2009-06-16 || License: Freeware Developer: Mozilla
A Cocoa version of Mozilla's popular web browser, Firefox.
Required OS: not specified
minefield is a developer version of future firefox, its no more cocoa than current firefox 3.6, all around 95% cocoa.
100% Cocoa is necessary for the 64bit versions and they replace now the last Carbon parts with Cocoa stuff.
No idea how far they are. The official Mozilla Minefield trunk builds are now maybe 100%, or maybe 99% ..
But here are for example 64bit Third Party Minefield builds

and they are for sure 100% Cocoa - 64bit is only possible with 100% Cocoa
Cheers
I don't think so. I keep my FireFox up to date and I'm not getting any updates today.
On a side note I've moved back to Opera. I really like the current alpha version. Once it goes public it will be even nicer as I have run into a few nasty bugs.
Almost only Opera 10, sometimes Chrome. I just can't switch away from Opera.
Why Opera?
Safari is my primary browser. I also have Firefox installed specifically for Google Toolbar (I gotta have it).
I have used Opera about 10 years, and just like how everything work with it. Mouse gestures are so great and tabs inside one window is the way I like to use my browser. It's also fast and stable.
And it's made in Norway, The Nordic countries, and I'm from Finland...
safari mainly because of the integration of with my iphone.
However, firefox is my firm second and feels like a slightly quicker with the renders

Firefox 3.6 for day-to-day browsing.
Safari for a few sites that, for whatever reason, don't get along with Firefox and my particular combination of add-ons.
Chrome gets occasional use too.

thanks for the good news, My information is a bit old, I haven't check this for a while.
I tried Chrome and Firefox on my Macs but with the unibody trackpad, Safari is a pleasure to use. Having said that, I am just starting to notice a lot of lag and getting sick of beach balling...
Soon I will start using Firefox again but only because of the web-editing plug-ins.
I don't use a PC, but I remember that Safari run pretty poorly on PC. Under Windows, I would just use Firefox. Is Chrome for Windows any good?
I use Safari on my iPhone but I have been planning to try a few others. One day... one day... I will try!

I've used Chrome for Windows. It's certainly more stable than the Mac builds I've tried, even without the improvements in the latest version (the one I used was in the 3.x series - the Mac builds are now in the 5.x series), but it's not perfect by any means.
Firefox 99.9% for its speed (3.6 has been a great upgrade) and extensibility.
Safari when FF messes up, or if I'm trying out YouTube with HTML5.
I really wanted to like Camino - it's fast and lightweight, but just doesn't have all the plugin options that FF has.
