Personally, I use Firefox, but Safari looks good too.

What do you think?
Tell me what you think is the best, and why!

[DaveTaylor]

Safari due to the fact its the nearly to web standards, proven via Acid test 2 and 3, also the webkit build hit 100% on ACID3 so the safari will be updated soon to it.

i use firefox

What I think we need to go, is find all the good points and bad points of each; and then we can actually decide.

Safari looks sexy ;].

Just install it not like it's going to hack your machine, or learn how to add fake caches :P

I use IE8, but sometimes Safari for windows.

[Galaxay]

I downloaded that today, i love the new buttens at the top :)

[Jaiisun]

I use firefox, so, following suit, i'm downloading firefox 3 beta 5 as we speak x]!

Does firefox have anything that safari doesn't?

Actually, do any of them have anything completely unique, except the look and layout?

[Jamesy]

firefox has addons and themes I think, not sure if Safari does.


I use FF3 B5 and Safari

[darkchicken101]

I use Opera.

Firefox because of the add-ons and customizability.

Firefox because of the add-ons and customizability.Same here for exactly the same reasons as you, I've modified it so it's my dream browser, I can honestly say I'm not downloading FF3 because I think FF2 is perfect and a few of the add-ons wouldn't work.

I'm really shocked at how little of the market Opera has, I was expecting about 3% not 0.66%

[kk.]

i use both firefox and IE if one crashes i switch

[awelsh]

Firefox, but only becuase IE8 thinks that I dont have flash player installed for some reason.

Ill stick to FF now though, loads faster and doesnt crash :)

[Energizer]

firefox 3 is only in beta atm, so im assuming add-on developers havent spent the time updating because of future changes that might affect it in later beta versions. when the stable release comes out im sure they'll be updated.
i use firefox beta 5, and i love it.

[DJ-Vimto]

firefox for me. because it looks good, loads quickly and is just an all round epic browser.

cant stand IE. tried opera but didnt like it, and imo safari is just...poor

[iFuseDan]

Personally, I Use Opera - generally speaking as a developer if it works on Opera, it'll work on everything else bar internet explorer.

Future releases of browsers show that Opera and Safari are going to be close to fully compliant with standards, firefox trailing behind them 2. Internet explorer 8 however is too strict - its support for legacy HTML is ... almost non existant, and current css support well that doesnt seem to work.
Firefox seems to be a popular alternative however, in terms of browser speed its severely lacking due to the fact the page cache's to RAM and local cache. If your on a very image intensive site Firefox can use in documented cases 200MB+ of RAM ... if your an intensive page browser you'll find this shoot well beyond that.

Internet explorer 7 - well hardly anyone that uses it will speak too highly of it.

[Josh-H]

Firefox by far.

[Jamesy]

I liked the quickdial function in opera.

but I am inlove with firefox.

[Shawnstra]

FF FTW for me!

if there was some kind of add on for firefox id defintely get it

[Mirkwood]

I use Opera, it is quick - allows me to view most webpages properly and is quite complient to web standards.

[Zaub]

Firefox for me.

[xxMATTGxx]

Used to be firefox, but now using Safari :)

[Nixt]

I use Firefox, I love it up.

[:job2]

I use Safari for windows. Considering its only just on its first full release I think its amazing! Its quicker and easier to use than any other browser I have tried. Plus is also looks good with its silver tab bar and mac like scroll bar. I also like the fact that the browser itself takes up next to no space on your screen, this means you can see more of a webpage without having to scroll
