BTW, Internet explorer isn't in development anymore for the Mac platform.

I prefer the style and ease of Camino as my default browser.
I use Firefox when I need extra facilities, such as add ons for web page photo and video downloads, and auto refresh on some auction style sites ...

Omniweb, Camino, Shiira, iCab, Opera and a few other even less popular ones.

I wasn't too much a fan of "iCab." A lot of nagging popups. Camino is pretty nice, although I've never heard of "Shiira," I'll have to check that one out.

You can also download Google Chrome when it's released.

I used Flock when it was released. It's headed towards people who are really into social networking. I didn't like it myself.
Camino is the hybrid between Safari and Firefox. I really liked it, but somehow I always come back to Safari.

Shiira 1 was cool, and 2 beta had some nice touches, I though it was already dead but I can see they released a new build last month…
iCab popups?, what do you mean?, the one about registering the app?, cause when it comes to block annoying popup windows and so, iCab is second to none. And fast as hell too.
I don't get what's so good about FF… its performance is far from stellar (iCab is faster, Safari is faster, Camino is faster…) and while others may appreciate it, to deal with extensions is not my thing really.
And back to the dead… You could even download the latest Netscape available for the Mac, which is sort of Firefox with a N skin.
Then you have the occasional funny app like Plainview from the barbariangroup folks.

I really like Safari. Color management is on by default.
Firefox is also great, but you need to switch on color management if you want to see images well on the web. It's off by default.
Opera is useless for anybody who likes to see images on the web, as it has no color management and displays colors usually much too red.
