Right now, I'm using safari but I'm not a big fan of it. It's ok...but I'd rather have some other browser. Which one should i dowload? (the choices refer to the most recent version available) -Firefox -Opera -Chrome -Stick to Safari -Other I already used up my poll, sorry D:

I have never used a Mac for more than 15 minutes. But I really like Firefox; it offers more options for customizing than any other browser. You can block ads and everything! Chrome also offers a couple add-ons. And it feels a bit faster than other browsers. So you could try that, too. I use Chrome as a backup when Firefox isn't working (a.k.a. I don't use it very much). :P

Opera is the best browser imo. Also the fastest browser ever made.

Chrome is pretty fast, you can do lots of stuff with firefox.

Safari seems to be best for Mac than for anything that runs on Windows (from my experience), especially since it was developed by Apple so it will obviously be geared towards Apple themselves. Either way, try whatever. Chrome for faster speed, Firefox for everything else.

I've been using Chrome on OS X for about half a year now, and I like it so much over Safari. Feels snappier, and looks just as good UI-wise.

I personally use Safari on Macs, mostly because it's good enough to the point where I would be too lazy to download a new browser.

[/quote] So should i just download Chrome and keep Safari as a backup? I liked using chrome on Windows but i left it when it kept crashing on me (idk why it did that)

I didn't know that Chrome was Mac compatible. Silly me. If I had a choice, I'd use Firefox or Chrome though (on the school Macs at least since I don't have one).

walridge3 Yea i know, it works amazing on my Windows 7 desktop, but on my win7 laptop it would crash and freeze as soon as i opened it. After that, my laptop would freeze too and i'd have to forcefully turn it off. It was a real pain in the ass D:

Chrome for Windows was always flawless, and in fact a number of my coworkers also use Chrome, even if our product we code isn't guaranteed to work in Chrome.

I use Opera. I like the feel and features. Why don't you try them all for yourself? They're all free.
