Safari or Firefox?
I have to say I miss my Firefox that I had on my PC, but am told I can use that as my preferred browser on my new iMac as well? Do I have to download a special mac version - what do you all use?
Cheers
T

Go to Firefox web browser | Faster, more secure, & customizable and it will automagically give you the right version to download |

I have tried many web browsers, with Safari being my favourite.

Now that I've discovered 1Password, I prefer Safari.

I love WebKit, which is pretty much Safari Beta, but it's still really stable. |

Google Chrome.
When it comes out, of course.
But seriously, Firefox. Plugins/Extensions rock, and 1Password works with it as well!

I prefer Firefox over safari. One of the key selling points for me is the Bookmarks Toolbar. I realise Safari has something similar but I like that Fact that the Firefox version doesn't display the names of the websites just the logos.

Safari all the way. Tried them all (OmniWeb, Firefox, Internet Explorer [not a joke!] and Camino) but I always come back to Safari.

Yeah I'm a firefoxer here too...
To make sure that OS X defaults to firefox, should you wish to do so, you need to open Safari, go into File-Preferences, and then choose it as default...
(Same if you don't want to default to Apple's Mail application).

Whoa. How?
My bookmarks toolbar doesn't show the favicon at all - just the text. |

I'm using the bleeding edge WebKit nightly on my desktop, and Safari 1.3.2 on the iBook. Both work like a dream. They keep the web browsing experience simple and uncluttered for me, just the way it should be.

I'm downloading this WebKit thing now. What does it do that Safari doesn't?

On a Mac: Safari 3, then Firefox 3 if Safari is not available.
On a PC: Firefox 3, then IE 7 if Firefox is not available.
