does anyone use something other than safari?

[kubani1]

I'm just wondering if anyone uses a web browser on their Mac's that isn't Safari? I tried Firefox a while ago, but it wasn't as fast and little things like using ctrl+cmd+d for the dictionary don't work. i find the dictionary thing useful when doing my studies.

Does someone use something different? and why?

I use mainly Safari on the Mac, but also occasionally use Firefox, for compatibility reasons.

On Windows, I use mainly Firefox, but also occasionally use IE, for compatibility reasons. (I don't use Safari on Windows.)

I use Firefox, mainly because I'm used to using Firefox.

fair enough, i was just curious if someone experienced something better than safari on a mac.

I primarily use Safari. I do use Chrome for Gmail and other Google-related stuff. I do have Firefox installed just incase I run into a page that doesn't load right in Safari/Chrome.

Firefox and Chrome. Never liked Safari.

Chrome. Safari is far too slow (relatively speaking). I love the way Chrome updates itself, including Flash as well.

I use Chrome mostly for the Google Voice extension. It does everything I need it to with Adblock and Flashblock

Chrome + Adthwart Legacy plugin

And Firefox, but only for the Video DownloadHelper plugin (Youtube)

 

[silverpig]

Chrome for 98%, Safari for 2%.

Chrome.

Camino.

I have to use (for work) a couple websites that require Firefox. Camino works fine with them, Safari doesn't. Camino is less sluggish than Firefox, so it's a nice in between.

This plus adblock and notscripts.

I used to be all about Firefox, but I've found the 4.X version to have really poor performance. Apparently it's related to java running on pages, but regardless of what it is it makes surfing a pain because it causes the whole browser to momentarily freeze on occasion. I even went so far as reformatting and reinstalling and same results.

So I gave up and switched to Safari. Safari seems fast which I like but I may try Chrome or Camino at some point.

Same here. And I can barely surf anymore without ABP and noscript.

 

[cronos]

Chrome here

I end up changing every 2-3 months between Safari, Firefox and Chrome. They all have their pros/cons. Currently with Firefox, but i'm probably going to switch back to Safari again soon, FF has been giving me issues with some sites.

This. I've been using Firefox for ages. I don't think Safari has an adblocker either.

Safari (and all the major web browsers) have an Adblock extension now
