1. Safari (fastest and most reliable)
2. Firefox (but not far behind) (great options but not so stable)
3. Omni Web

Firefox is fugly, but I'm using it more and more. In fact, it's the browser I recommend to all of my new Mac convert friends.

Safari has too many issues with certain websites. That may not be Safari's fault per se, but nonetheless they exist. Camino and friends are nice, but certain features such as Yahoo mail special editing functions don't work with Camino (or Safari).

Posted with Firefox 1.5.0.9

I guess that makes sense — it looks and feels like a PC program. (Yeah, still not a fan.)

Use Camitools and set the useragent to Firefox. I noticed that when using Camino on eBay, the WYSIWYG formatting tools you get in Firefox when you post your description weren't there. But when you change the useragent, it lets you use those tools and it even lets you use the yellow sidebar helper thing.

I use Safari regularly, and Camino when I need the Gecko engine for something or another. We've come a long way in the past few years on web interoperability, but there's still plenty of work to do. Too many developers have interpreted "standards" as "works with Firefox too." I suppose it's still better than IE-only, but still far from ideal.

I'll probably start using Camino a little more heavily when they get better-looking form widgets (the same can be said for Firefox, as a matter of fact).

WTF? I upgraded to Firefox 2.0.0.1 and now I can't print-to-PDF past the first page.

I used Camino for a coupla years when Safari seemed to lag a lot, but since Tiger came along, I've switched back to primarily Safari, which just seems faster and more reliable than Camino these days, for me anyway. I like Camino's sleek design and the easy session saving provided by helper apps; I hope the next version of Safari will get rid of the brushed metal look or at least allow Aqua, and provide built in session saving so that when there's a crash, you can go back to all your open tabs.
It's good to have a backup to Safari because certain sites don't like it, and in my experience, Camino almost always works where Safari doesn't.

I just want a browser that does a) incremental search, and b) live bookmarks. So far, Firefox is the only one I've found (although I'd rather use Safari).

Does anyone know of any other browser that does a and b?

Well, Safari can do B) with AcidSearch...

pozytron.com: AcidSearch

As for the live bookmarks, I'd prefer Safari's built-in RSS reader, but that's just me.

I have used all of the browsers mentioned in this thread and i keep coming back to safari. I would have to rank firefox number 2 but it isnt that well integrated with osx. My opinion would be to stick with Safari and add some addons and plugins from pimpmysafari.com. Some that I use are Saft, safariplus, and safarispeed. If you like some of their features and you dont want to pay for them you can always find ways to implement some of their features yourself by accesing terminal.

No one's mentioned BonEcho, PPC builds of firefox, or SeaMonkey - which is my personal favorite.

Flock and Shiira are the best browser out there, most inovative.

I've been a Firefox user since it was called Phoenix (back in my Linux days).
When I got another Mac, I gave Safari a try.
It's improved since it's first release, for sure.
With a combination of Safari, PithHelmet and Saft, it's a fair browser.
Still doesn't beat Firefox though.
I use an Intel-only build called BonEcho.
It IS Firefox 2.0.0.1, but with Aqua-esque widget buttons (forms, etc) - OR a 'firefox widgets & buttons' version can be downloaded as well.
The Firefox License does not permit use of the Firefox name or logo when creating unofficial builds, so the guy called it Bon Echo (wasn't that the name of the 2.x Firefox beta or something?).
With Adblock, noscript, DownThemAll!, Foxmarks Bookmarks Synchronizer, Tabbrowser preferences and the GrApple (Eos) theme, it's nirvana, baby.
