Personally, I would have to say Firefox. Safari is great and all, but it reminds me too much of KDE's Konqueror. Yes, I know that both use KHTML, but it goes beyond that. A lot of the problems I had with Konqueror I find in Safari. Firefox just seems more together to me and functions much better. So my vote is for Firefox.
Wouldn't this be better set in a poll???

I also like Firefox, mainly for its built in abilities for blocking ads.

I believe that now it might be too late for this thread, but I think you can create a poll when yu initially post. I haven't tried it, but I know it's possible. Originally Posted by RGrphc2 Don't know how to set those up...• Apple iMac G5 17" (2 GHz G5) - Mac OS X 10.5.8/Ubuntu 10.04

There's no doubt that Firefox is the better browser (esp. with extensions).
However, I haven't found a Firefox theme that makes the user interface as nice as Safari's minimalist brushed metal approach (Red Cats (green flavour) is pretty close), so I'm hoping Safari RSS strikes back and reclaims the lost ground so I can switch back.

Safari needs to implement ad blocking first before it will be a decent browser.
