As title says, bunch of new browsers on the OSX market and some old ones are still strong. Which do you feel is best and why?
For Chrome, assume Crossover or wait until the Mac version is released.
Camino included under "Other".

I like how Safari is integrated to OS X especially that you can cut parts of a web page and put it in your Dashboard. On my Air, I use it. Other systems, it's Firefox!

I like FireFox, even though it hogs the CPU. It has a ton of plugins, and just works great for me! I like Safari also, but it tends to be slower that FireFox or Camino.

I don't have much need for plugins so Safari suits my needs fine. My main complaint though is that the tabs aren't threaded like Chrome or IE8 so 1 tab loading (looking at you Flash) can make the whole browser sluggish. Hopefully tab threading is coming in Safari 4 and the feature won't be Snow Leopard exclusive (like Web Clip in Safari 3.x is to Leopard) since Safari 4 is also coming to Tiger and Leopard.

I use both safari and firefox,but like ff more.
-
Firefox seems much slower than Safari but Firefox has alot more plugins and is more compatible with more webpages. So i guess i am a safari person
-
Currently using FF
i dont like safari because it always open links in new window -
I use Firefox because of all the extensions available. Surfing the web would be much harder without them.
-
I want chrome
Can't wait for the day that we will get the lightness of chrome and the plugins of Firefox. -
On Mac OSX, Safari 4 for the OS integration, smaller toolbars, and PDF support. (On the other hand, I hate Safari 3's slower speeds.)
On Windows, Firefox 3.1 all the way.
