And why?

I'm using Camino. I prefer it over Safari because I'm able to more easily pick the fonts and colors I want to use -- customize it -- and the ability to import bookmarks repeatedly if I want.

I prefer it over Internet Explorer because it's faster (much faster) and I can block popups.

What are you guys using and why?

[Spheric Harlot]

Netscape 7.1 on Windows NT 4.1 Service Pack something.

Work.

Should this be a poll?
I'm using Safari because it's fast, blocks popups, and has tabs.

But I've never tried any othe browser except Safari, Netscape and IE. Who knows what I could be missing.

[willed]

POLL!

I'm using Safari, because of tabs and because it works with the vast majority of websites (apart from odeon.co.uk!). Oh, and because it's quicker than IE.

[Diggory Laycock]

Safari.

Can't you alter the styles through a style-sheet (advanced tab in Safari prefs)

Admittedly you said 'more easily' - -CSS may not be for everyone.

I'm using Safari RIGHT NOW because I like the clean interface and really dig the google search bar and pop-back capabilities.

[iWrite]

Shoulda made it a poll...yep.

Maybe a mod can do it for us?

Anyway, yeah, the gripe I have with Safari is that it's so difficult to tweak it...

Camino is like Safari...only finished. The ability to customize is...just...easy. It does everything Safari does and just as fast so I like it.

I also like Opera but they only have Opera 6 for Mac out (though they do have Opera 7 out for Windows and supposedly Opera 7 for Mac is done, just not released.)

I don't use Netscape. Too AOLish. Blegh.

[deekay1]

Firebird... Because I downloaded it for the first time to day and it is much better than what I first expected.

Safari 1.1

safari - because:

tabs
google searchbar

[tintub]

mozilla on windows xp

Firebird on win2k (work). Why? Because IE is MS.

SAFARI RIGHT NOW with Firebird primed for action

Yup.

Safari 1.1

I used to use Camino (or Chimera as it was called). But Apple once again needed to show other appmakers how it's done. The Googlebar. the tab-implementation, the bookmark-manager and SnapBack. It's just how it's supposed to work.

But for using your own fonts and colors, don't you find it REALLY difficult with Safari?

Don't you guys care about what font your eyes stare at for hours and hours...and what color it is, etc.?

People changing fonts and colours are a designer's nightmare.

On topic: Safari. Fast, stable and looks good.

[NYCFarmboy]

Safari... I use it 99% of the time.

I only use other browsers when I have to, for specific reasons:

I use IE for USAir.com's website for checking in and changing seat assignments etc. The website just will not work with Safari when you want to change a seat assignment.

I use Mozilla to look the building's security webcams where I live in NYC. I can't get Safari to load live security webcams images on them.

I have Camino which seems to be a prettier version of Mozilla, but to me appears about the same as Mozilla.

I used to use Camino exclusively when I was in Jaguar but it has some rendering issues in Panther that they haven't fixed yet...when they do, I'm back with Camino. I *hate* how Safari loads the partially and allows you to scroll and when its done loading it snaps back to the top.

[:XI:]

Safari.

Mozilla Firebird on win2000 at school. Used to use the 'regular' Mozilla, but Firebird got it all - and is much faster. Even got a Google search-bar, just like Safari!

Now I've got 10.2 (finally! yay!) I'm using Safari, but before that I used Omniweb.

Omniweb's pop-up menu has "copy the address of this image" which was handy. Safari doesn't have it.

[catsank]

Surfin' Safari. Surfin� USA
- the whole way !

Like an old dog I tried the
rest, gone with the best etc...

Feel a real *hit for not
sticking by Camino, but
so glad to be rid of IE.

[marusin]

Mozilla Firebird 0.6.1 on my Windows 2000 machine (at work)...

I'm using it because it is the best browser I've used on Windows so far and doesn't crash or hang every 10 minutes which is what my IE is doing lately. No idea why?

The only reason I use IE anymore is to test out the application I'm working on. Otherwise, I would have removed it from my desktop.

Edit: Just upgraded to 0.7

[Sarc]

Safari

- Clean Interface
- Clean Tab Implementation
- Relatively Fast
- It just works !

I've noticed that also.

"The application Internet Explorer has unexpectedly quit," or some garbage like that.

Knowing Microsoft, it's probably planned obsolescence.

[wulf]

Firebird on Mac. It feels quicker to me than Camino (completely unscientific, just an opinion you understand) and has tabs and google search, so I use it a lot for forums.

I still use Safari as a main browser though. (Now if I could only get .mac bookmark syncing to work with Firebird...)

[sanity assassin]

Safari here, simple, fast, and does what it says on the box.

[Aiglos]

I used to use Camino, but development has been stagnant of late. I'm a Firebird 0.7 kind of guy. Gotta support the little guys you know. I know i know, it has it's issues, but I think Firebird has great potential.

You just got 10.2?

Safari does have 'open image in new window, where the address can be copied from. Not the same, but it works.

[InterfaceGuy]

I started using Firebird 0.7 last week and love it. I love how you can add plugins for the search bar. I'm using Dictionary.com, eBay.com, Amazon.com, and Weather.com. On my Mac I use Safari but may be switching over to Firebird on it also. I prefer the brushed metal look of Safari but like the functionality of Firebird.

[ZackS]

Safari.

[Superchicken]

Safari

I like it's icon haha

that's half true. Safari operates well and looks pretty sweet. And I prefer it's tabs over Camino's.

[osiris]

Safari all the way.

I love the tabs, the Google search thing and especially the pop-up blocker. Though l wish Java was a lot faster & I wish I could turn off the GD anti-aliasing/change more fonts, Safari is a pretty close to perfect for me.

[Xeo]

Safari 'cause it's good. There are tons of browser-related threads (and polls) in the Software forum. Come and visit us sometime!

[iWrite]

I will...

Maybe you should move this over there? I didn't know it even existed...

(But I looked before I had my morning coffee...)

i'm giving it a try for the next couple of days! are there any themes that work with the 0.7 version?
