I mostly use firefox (what I'm used to and I know which addons I want/need). I also have chrome installed and will use that as well from time to time. I don't really use Safari.

Use firefox though I hate that zooming and rotating on the trackpad doesn't work in firefox unless I'm doing something wrong :/

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.

what advantages does using Chrome offer for gApps users?

Chrome. I used to use Safari but I switched about a year ago and haven't looked back.

Chrome with AdBlock and Xmarks. It feels much faster than Safari. I do wish they would update the Chrome UI so that I could have the 50px or so additional vertical resolution in Safari, but the performance trade-off is worthwhile.

Would not use safari if you paid me :)

Chrome is awesome sauce poured on top of awesome pie :) I love not caring about any maintenance of the browser (updates automatically, bookmarks, passwords, plugins, themes synced around any computer I sign in on) and some quality chrome webapps such as Springpad make Chrome irreplacable. The performance is way better than either safari or firefox too.

<-- officially a chrome fanboy these days :)

firefox. until chrome can print preview adjust margins, like the rest it is only useful for non-business tasks. which is fine. i like firefox it is just consistent across all platforms so far.

Chrome has choppy scrolling for me. Safari is buttery smooth. I should look into the issue.
