    I prefer Firefox because I am a plug-in junkie.

    I really like Firefox. I just downloaded Safari for the PC, literally... not even 5 minutes ago, using it right now. So far the only reason I've found to like Firefox more is the fact that it remembers usernames/passwords. But I really like the overall look of Safari, pretty sure I'm sticking to it.

    Internet Explorer, of course!

    Safari, but only because I'm using OS X. If you're using a PC, you should most definitely use Firefox, but for me, Safari is the only way.

    I have no need for a ton of plugins. Using Safari, I have two plugins installed; Safari AdBlock, and ad blocker, and Inquisitor, and spotlight-like add-on for Google searching form the toolbar. Other than that, Safari includes everything I need in a browser. It's simple, has a nice, clean UI, and is very easy to use.

    Firefox - even on a Mac - faster and nicer UI, for my taste ...

    I agree with John. Since I'm using windows I love firefox but I'm sure Safari is great on mac. (I know safari is on windows too but I heard it sucks).

    I love FF3 because the password management is amazing (can delete individual passwords from each site), the magic address bar, and of course all the modifications

    I'm a new Mac and iMac user, only about a month now. I think I prefer Safari, but the one thing I wish it had was the "new tab" button on the menu bar. Yeah, I know I can do the Command T thing, but I'm such a mouse person.
