Browser Wars #4 ... Which OS X web browser do you use most often?
1/1: Browser Wars #4 ... Which OS X web browser do you use most often?

Time for yet another look...
This is the fourth browser poll we've run:
Clearly, the release of Safari had a major impact on OS X users' browser of choice! It will be interesting to see what OmniWeb 5.0 does to the landscape (pros: cool features, WebKit rendering; cons: costs money) in the months to come...

i love camino web browser
Time for yet another look...
I have a simple question. With all of the free browsers out there, why would anyone want to pay for Omniweb? They have a free download, but what would be the motivation for purchasing a license? I don't see the logic.
Time for yet another look...
Two reasons: one, it offers features that you think are worth paying for. Two, you want to support an OS X vendor who has written some great stuff for the platform. I used reason number two when I paid for one of the early versions ... I may pay for the new 5.0 once it goes final and I've had a chance to play with it to see what it offers.
Thunderbird
Should [Mozilla] Thunderbird be listed as a separate choice, as it's unclear what is meant by Mozilla?
Thunderbird
They're essentially the same thing. Mozilla's plan is to separate it's various components (Web, Email, etc) into separate applications. Mozilla web is Firebird, and email has is now Thunderbird. They use essentially identical code however.
Thunderbird
Technically, I probably should have split Mozilla (old integrated browser/etc) from Firebird (new browser-only). However, they're all Mozilla products, and as can be seen so far, usage is quite low ...
You mean Firebird
Safari is great don't get me wrong... it's just that Firebird has more features in it and pages are viewed more correctly. Plus, Safari's slow bookmarks bother me as I use them all the time.
Thunderbird
Thunderbird is not Mozilla's web client, it is their email client. Instead, Firebird is their web client.
OmniWeb
Well, at the moment I use mostly Safari, with Mozilla mixed in there for flavor. However the new OmniWeb 5 beta is looking awfully nice. Once the bugs are fixed, I can see OmniWeb 5 taking a significant share of the market. I wouldn't mind paying for a quality browser. I had looked at OmniWeb in the past, but the lack of tabs made it unusable for me. OmniWeb 5 has fixed all that, and then some. The new bookmarks organizer is also very slick. I'd like to see this poll again in another 6 months to a year. I bet it will be allot different.
OmniWeb
Ditto! I paid for OmniWeb way back when (before Chimera which was my browser of choice before Safari came out). After a few minutes with OmniWeb 5 (before it crashed :) ) I saw it was going to be a player again! Can't wait for the final...or at least a more stable beta!
Firebird missing
Mozilla and Mozilla Firebird are distinct browsers and should have had separate listings in the poll (if you're going to break out Camino, you should break out Firebird as well). Firebird is my second choice, and it's a close second at that. I end up using Safari most because that's where all of my bookmarks are, and I'm too lazy to export them frequently with Safari Bookmark Exporter. The ONLY reason I use IE is for its superior print preview features.
Firebird missing
Firebird is also my browser of choice (I went with "other"). I can't live without Mouse Gestures and AdBlock.
Re: Browser Wars
I still perfer Camino over Safari, however, The recent beta release of Safari is showing that Apple is putting at least some effort into making it better.

SAFARI!
SAFARI, SAFARI, SAFARI... and only Safari! As a developer, I haven't seen a browser render truer to the actual CSS standards.
Ok, Omniweb 5 (beta) looks like it will best Safari in features, but it doesn' t seem as fast right now.

safari v netscape
I use SAFARI becuase just updated to osX panther and that is recommendation
mozilla praise with quick question
I use Mozilla 1.6 and love it. Very few crashes and/or freezes. I'm actually dissappointed that more people aren't using it. I hope the good development work continues.

There is a hint in here somewhere that lets you change its identifier... Search the archives... Sorry I'm too lazy to send a link.
Bumper Car???
What on Earth is Bumper Car? I've never heard of it, and I can't find anything about it on google either.

It's a child-safe web browser from Freeverse Software:
Bumper Car I included it mainly as a lark :) -rob. |
