I prefer Chrome. But if I am running low on battery life, I'll switch to Safari because it doesn't kick in the dedicated GPU needlessly like Chrome sometimes does. Actual web page rendering, speed and efficiency all seem pretty good on the Mac, I just like chrome for the different features, better library of plugins and better layout.
Firefox pretty much always, as three finger page navigation worked out of the box with it, and I can have favicons on the main toolbar, which safari never allowed.
Its all about chrome, safari is nice and fast but for web dev its not got the tools I need. I find that safari and chrome are very fast and FF is a little slower.
On my PC, IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Safari are all installed, I mainly use Firefox.
I just use Safari to check whether my website are displayed correctly in all browsers. Css thing is troublesome..
I use Safari for two reasons. Webkit (the engine behind the browser, and Chrome) is totally rocking at the moment. And Firefox seems too resource hungry on the Mac. Is that just me or does anyone else find FF munching on your cpu?
Used to use firefox but ever since chrome came out there been using that just feel the layout is better. Safari is pretty good too imo loads pages very quickly
I like Safari on my Mac. However, it doesn't get on very well with Flash. I have the Flash blocking plugin too, and I still see it crash quite often. I'm too lazy to change though...
I agree with the Chrome problems there, it just doenst behave how you would want it to...
Though I do blame firefox for existing for a good few years now as my main browser and change is difficult! (though I struggle to exist without 3 finger swipes)
But yeah Safari is good (gotten better in osx over the last year) but in the web browser struggle to be different it suffers the problem of not really making every feature usable (or as worth while as the firefox set up)
