I currently use Safari(sometimes I also use Firefox). I'd like to know, are there other web browsers that are better than these?

Whether it's best is a very subjective matter, and only you can answer it smile.gif

Firefox is not bad. But it takes a long time to boot up firefox on my Mac. Safari boot up only takes like 5 seconds(I use old powerPC Mac Mini lah)

Used Firefox for quite a while, but now I have switched to Safari + Inquisitor. One thing though Firefox's implementation of searching for text on a web page is better than Safari's.

Well you asked for 'best' not 'fastest'... Fastest would be the text-based browser Lynx? biggrin.gif

I've been using firefox since the first day on mac... I can't really compare it to safari, bcoz the only thing i used safari for was to load the mozilla page and download firefox.... haha... I don't know why, I just feel more comfy on firefox....

Nothing is the "best" browser for me. Everything still need to be improve here and there. what you comfordable with is the fact.

I've used safari when OS X first launch. Then switch back to IE, then Firefox appear, then BonEcho. Now I'm back to Safari after the updates. Safari that's bundle with Leopard is something worth waiting for biggrin.gif
