What are y'all using?

I like Safari 3 a lot, but it chokes on https sites. I'm wondering if sticking with Firefox isn't the lesser evil. Any suggestions?

i use safari unless it doesn't work (and it works on https sites generally for me -- that's strange). the odd site or two that it chokes on, like google docs spreadsheet side, goes to firefox. the really odd site that only renders in windows IE gets opened up in that via parallels.

Have to say I am sticking with firefox. I just feel more comfortable with it and like using the same browser between my windows and mac machines.

FireFox was good for a while but has been going downhill. I'm too lazy to move my bookmarks, and I don't particularly care for Safari, so for now I'll stick with FireFox.

I'm going to try Camino for a few days...

I'm with Toshi - Safari all the way except for the occasional JS rich page that kills it - then it's Firefox.

How so? Genuinely interested what you see as declining?

Xactly the same here.

Both, but, actually, since last week, I have transfered all my bookmarks from Firefox to Safari. I don't know if it's a bug other MAC users have experienced with FireFox, but I can't seem to be able to save a page, or anything for that matter, with Firefox. The command just doesn't work.

The only thing I miss from Firefox is the search function. (Which is good on the new Safari 3.0, but not as good as the one on Firefox)

I use a variety of browsers; each is set up with a different proxy or other configuration for different purposes. Try out a few and see which one has the features/design that feel most comfortable for you.

Netscape 9, Camino, Safari, Firefox, Sea Monkey

Stability is the biggest thing. I've been getting a lot of FireFox crashes recently, some on my PC, and a lot more on my Mac. It's certainly possible that there's something else going on with my computers though.

The latest build has been better so hopefully the trend will continue.

Interesting... no problems here with crashes, but I'm a creature of mostly habit when it comes to internet browsing.

You're on 2.0.0.9 now?

Firefox always behaved poorly on my Mac...favored Safari over it.

But I <3 Firefux on my PC.
