Before it was FF. Not Chrome. Now sure why I switched.

Opera (and Chrome) for me, as FF is too resource hungry.

 

[CA50]

Opera 12.01

Chrome 95% FF 4% IE 1% (only if some banking sites or such)

Same here, I find FF kind of resource hungry ...It crosses 500 MB of memory with an ease with 3-5 tabs open (gmail/facebook other usual sites).

Whereas chrome is still better.... What about Safari no1 likes it ? although i lyk the gestures we can make with safari/magic mouse.

+1 to Opera from me. Chrome is lean for a few tabs, but a memory hog beyond that.

Firefox and SRWare Iron. Iron is based on Chromium engine and supports every feature offered by Chrome and supports Add-Ons and Themes as well.

What has this got to do with the Mac OS thread? Are you looking for browsers which run well on one?

Yes only on Lion/Mountain Lion OSX.

Safari on ML is as good as it can be. Chrome comes in Second followed by Firefox.

 

[muzux2]

Using Opera since 2005

Google Chrome FTW - in terms of functionality.

In terms of design and overall experience, I prefer the native Safari. If all I have to do online is read news, post on forums, check my mail OR browse through photography blogs - I use Safari.

For heavy functionality-based, extension-heavy browsing, Chrome is the way to go.

However, what I would really like to see is Firefox fixing their RAM-hogging issues for Mac OS X. With the staggeringly increasing numbers of Mac OS X users, I guess Firefox has no choice but to fix their shit. I don't want to go through another browser-breakup. (It happened for the first time with IE, then Netscape and finally Opera :yahoo.
