It's been a long time since I've used Safari. It's pretty much either Camino or Chrome for me.

Firefox was worse than Safari for me. I used only Firefox for years and repeated borking drove me to Safari.

On the Mac, Firefox is my last resort.

I've tried several, including the latest Chrome release for Mac, and I've been happiest with firefox. If I ever get around to upgrading to snow leopard i will revisit safari, as I have heard good things...

I just realized that now that I've upgraded to Snow Leopard I could give Camino a try again, I think. I was using iCab for a while there but I don't like the interface as well.

Don't forget to check updates for any plugins. 9/10 times it's a plugin choking, not Safari. And I say this as a lover, user, and owner of a fair share of Safari plugins.

I have no plug-ins installed. Just the bare up-to-date Safari. My Mac HD was completely zeroed out and installed from scratch a mere 2 mos ago.

Most of the time, for me, it's Flash that kills Safari. I thought Safari was a worthless piece of crap until I disabled Flash entirely.

Pretty bad lookout for Apple if they're not making sure Safari works well with Flash.
- Spidra Webster
Unfortunately, Apple can't do much about it. Adobe doesn't seem to really care if Flash works in OS X. Flash pretty much kills all the browsers I use.
- Victor Ganata
I think Apple has enough weight to throw around that they could work something out. Although letting Adobe absorb Macromedia was a stupid move by the DoJ as far as protecting consumers is concerned...
- Spidra Webster
Apple can't even get Adobe to modernize the code base of their apps, though. Anyway, I don't think Flash has proven itself to be necessary. I've disabled it for the most part, and I'm hoping that some better tech will replace it soon.
