Until I can get Google Toolbar and ad-blocking extensions (a la AdBlock) on Safari, I'll be sticking with Firefox. That's too bad, because apart from those two features, I prefer Safari (version 3, anyway).
Yeah i dunno if I gonna go throw with downloading firefox. My last computer bricked after a patch update. So Im a bit paraoid. Safari's really good. but the fact that it dosent block ads really blows.
EDIT: just downloaded firefox. no problem with. cant believe I doubted it.
Yup. It used to come bundled on all new Macs before Safari came out. Can't remember if there was any overlap. The last version was 5.2.3, it is PPC-only and still works under Rosetta on 10.4.10 for Intel.

That's correct. Stevie made Internet Explorer the default browser for the Mac when he made "piece" with MS. I still have IE, but for all intents and purposes it's useless now. I actually launched it the other day just for kicks and was surprised to see that it no longer renders the most common sites correctly. Try it for kicks, it's funny. Yes, Internet Explore for the Mac is history. Good riddance.
camino....its the best. But off late i've been having problems with viewing flash sites....installing the adobe flash has solved it though...so my vote is for camino.

Safari just feels like proper Mac program, Firefox and Camino just feel detached.
Safariblock is decent adblocker for safari, and it works great with safari 3 as well. Also Safaristand is good flash blocker.
I mainly use Safari, the tight system integration (.mac, keychain,...) and the more mac-like feel keep me from using Firefox for more than checking how my HTML/CSS files render.

If you'd like the results of a more thorough poll, MacOSXhints run a "which browser are you using" poll every so often.
Um, I think you left out a few browsers:
...
Internet Explorer

Internet Explorer?

Yeah, you know, that browser made by Microsoft.

Firefox is safer to use, i bet.
You forgot the question mark.

Really this poll has so little choice as to be useless.

Good list although Mozilla is now SeaMonkey.
