Safari or Firefox?

[Compman55]

In OSX firefox is really awsome compared to PC. I beleive it feels like it belongs here. What do you guys use mostly?

I used Firefox until about a year ago, when I switched to Safari and never looked back. Safari 4 is so much faster and lightweight than the bloated creature Firefox has become.

Not a big fan of Firefox on OSX. Safari is good, but i actually prefer Chrome on all platforms now.

i was using safari for years until a few weeks ago, when i switched to firefox. i love safari for its clean look, fast speeds, and a no-nonsense browser. however, i just got sick of its lack of extensions and poor flash performance. i hesitated to use firefox from the beginning because of...how bad it looked on osx. seriously. recently, my friend showed me a theme for firefox called grapple yummy, and...lol i switched as a result.

Same here! Went from XP|FF then OSX|Safari now OSX|Chrome

Never liked firefox on OSX and well with the WebKit browsers I have no reason to use the bloatedness of firefox on any computer

I guess i just got used to them from the Safari 4 beta... I don't even notice it anymore

lmao the first thing i did was find out about the "secret" menu hidden in the safari 4 beta and change the tabs from the top to the bottom...

FF for better flash performance and better addons.

Safari, I have never noticed any flash difference between Safari and Firefox, and with Inquisitor, Glims, ClickToFlash, and SafariAdBlock I am happy.

I use Safari. I also use IE on Windows. Back during IE6, I would install Firefox for tabs, but once IE7 landed with tabs I didn't have a use for FF anymore. It was always slower than IE for me.

I would like to use Chrome but, like secretanchitman, just can't STAND the tabs being on the top. I don't know what it is but it just looks fugly to me. I might download Chrome and give it another spin because I only tried the very first Beta they released publicly.

And the top tabs looked especially horrible in Windows. They might look better in OS X.

EDIT: I had, for a while, used Camino. It seemed to work better than Firefox.

Chrome mostly now with a bit of Safari.

 

[ubercaffeinated]

chrome for anything google related. safari for everything else nearly. firefox for serious websites or shopping online.

Chrome > Safari > Firefox

I am not fond of the UI of Chrome on OS X. The tabs on top aren't that big of a problem, but the rest of it feels... off. Not as bad as default Firefox, but still.

Agreed. Not to mention it still just feels very beta-y.

The only thing I wish I could do in Safari that I can do in Firefox with Firebug, or Chrome by default.. is inline CSS/JS editing. By this, I mean, I can open Chrome, Inspect an Element and edit (in real-time) the HTML/CSS, etc.. or the webpage. I can add elements to divs and properties to my CSS. I wish Safari supported that. Safari can edit already defined elements, but you can't create new ones.. not to my knowledge anyway.

Turn on safari developer tools. They are the same as chrome's.

Yea, I have Developer Tools enabled. Ah, guess you have to arrow over. In Chrome, you can tab. Oh well.. constantly something.

I think FF kind of sucks in OSX compared to PC, the only reason I used it was because I needed one of its plugins for a browser game I was playing. When the game ended I switched to Safari and feel is is MUCH better.
