Which browser do you use for primary?

[ddma]

Since all web browsers were updated to take the advantage of Quartz Anti-alasing font smoothing. They are now quite close in features. Which browser do you use for primary now?

I personally use the latest build of Mozilla. It provides a great stablity and compeitable with many of the website. And of coz its amazing Tabbed Browsing. I still hope it could have a OSX like interface/form elements tho.

But it has already be my primary use of web browser and I go checking the latest builds every couple of days.

OmniWeb was good but it doesn't compietable with many website especially those Java-Script/CSS HTML.

I am a Chinese user and when I use IE to browse some Chinese website, there will be some crosses (+) on the page and that's really annoying...

Chermia will not be my favorit unless it is finally released. But I know it would be very cool (The best from Mozilla and OSX GUI - that's my dream web browser).

It's Chimera ...

It's a work in progress, but it's already suitable for everyday use (as long as you can live without the missing features...)...

By the time Chimera Navigator hits 0.5, there will be no stopping it!

I was thinking it had been a couple days since we had a good browser discussion and then surprise surprise, one pops up.

I use OmniWeb for all things because it is the most comfortable. It still renders things prettier than the carbon quartz but also it has things that carbon will never have. I can scroll the web page while its beneath another window (hold command and click, this also works for moving the entire window around at the title bar) I can also click submit and hit other form widgets while I'm still talking in Adium. This may not be important to everyone but I have a slow computer and it helps not to have to switch back and forth. Of course spell checking and some of the features like listing all the links on a page also help.

The only thing that I previously used mozilla for was this online game called Utopia. There is a lot of switching pages and sometimes I need to copy and paste some text into a formatter. Omni doesn't copy tables right so the formatter can't recognize the numbers. Now I use Chimera for that because it's even faster and still uses a standard table layout. I'm sure I'll use Chimera in the very near future when it starts to incorporate the strengths of cocoa but for now I can't sacrifice those features that bring me to a cocoa app in the first place.

My wife who is Thai uses Mozilla for the exact same reason. It's the best at displaying non-roman characters hands down. OmniWeb used to be better, but it's gotten worse at it.

However I personally use Chimera as my default because of the speed and GUI. On the rare occassion that Chimera can't handle it, I'll usually go into Mozilla or IE.

...OmniWeb...

Well, not exactly but at least I use it more than the others primarily because it can read Greek web sites whereas the other do not!

Next on my list is Mozilla because is fast, compatible and has Tabs... Then is Chimera but has a long way to go and last but the most compatible than ALL the above combined is IE5.2

When the others do not display a page that I MUST read correctly I turn to IE... Or at the worst case scenario I fire up Virtual PC 5.0.3 and IE5.5 with ALL the securities patches on

However, I feel like OmniWeb is the best because looks the most Aquafied of the bunch (which is a plus for me) and because it feels right on my eyes, speed and foremost the champion of Greek support

im sorry guys but mozilla is just the best one...... if chimera were done then it probably would be but its not. mozilla is just the fastest one out there.

I'm really glad to see Mozilla winning at the moment. I really do believe it is the best browser for OS X, let alone the dozens of other platforms it runs on. I currently run it in OS X, Windows and Linux. It's nice to have something that remains constant when switching computers several times a day as I do, depending on what I'm doing. I hope it continues to gain market share, forcing silly websites optimized for IE to become W3C compliant.

I use IE most of the time. Sorry. But I do play with all the other browsers. I heard that IE crashes a lot. It NEVEr crashes on me, and I do web design. All the other browsers have little things about them that bother me, and I will not use the browser untill those little things are fixed.
