which of these would you suggest and why..

Browsers followed by some opinions of my own
1. Safari 3.0 beta - incompatible gmail chat; surfing made fastest
2. Firefox 2 - everywhere accessible
3. Shiira - incompatible gmail chat as well; sleek?

Other browsers hasn't been such a great attraction to me.
simple but nice

2. That is the browser I use, and it has many extensions to make it more versatile.

Firefox 2 and add-ons. I've tried Firefox, Camino, and Safari, and keep going back to Firefox.

Safari 3 90% of the time, Camino 10%, and occasionally Omniweb for a week-long stint. I want to like Shiira, but I can't get used to tabs on the bottom.

Safari is lean, fast, and renders better than Camino. It has more CSS3 support and seems to be advancing more quickly. The little things, like autofill, just seem to work better.

Safari for the reasons above.

FireFox for the three sites a year that don't work in Safari.

i don't remember mentioning camino as an option. Well, I've started using safari and I'm starting to love it. I can do my gtalk on adium. O well, who bothers when i have msn and yahoo messengers and with an app like adium it just all sets in together nicely on one contact list!

appreciative and content. Thanks guys for comments/suggestions respectively.
simple but nice
