I read this:

http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000789.html

And now I'm curious how many of you Mac users consciously choose to use Safari over Firefox.

I'm in complete agreement with the article, by the way. Non-native UI sucks the big one. I use http://wxwidgets.org/ for my UI work for this reason.

I agree with the article. We have Firefox down on the kitchen mac, but my G5 uses Safari.

I prefer FireFox to SAFARI. Too much bad juju seems to come with SAFARI.

I use Safari on my mac. I get impatient with firefox's barely noticeable speed difference Razz and slightly Cludgy interface.

On linux (like right now) however I use Firefox, and on windows it's not like I have a choice Razz Firefox or Internet Exploder... Razz

We use both at the school I'm at, I use both at home. Can't say as I notice which works better, they both just work.

I'm using Firefox more and more, mainly because of the behaviours. I can get Firefox to do more than Safari does. It suits me.
