As title, which browser do you use as your primary browser? To clarify this is for PCs & Macs, I am not including mobile browsers. I've included all the major players in the poll, if you use some funky alternative feel free to tick other and name it in the thread. |

I use tenfourfox which is a port of Firefox for ppcs. I would use chrome if it were available. |

Safari. It annoys me, I try the Firefox or Chrome and usually end up with Safari again. Not sure why. |

Safari on Mac OS at home. I was using Safari for Windows at work but it suddenly decided it wasn't going to load images any more (any image, on any web page) and no matter what I did it wouldn't play nice, so I switched to Chrome. Jon |

Up until a few months ago, Camino. Now starting to use Safari again, but don't really like it - somehow it just doesn't feel very Mac-like to me, how ironic. Particularly dislike the disk churning activity for the first 5 or 10 minutes you launch Safari - think it's related to the Top Sites "feature", downloading preview thumbnails - just a shame you can't disable it altogether to speed things up. Being still on a PowerPC Mac running Leopard 10.5, my options are somewhat limited, especially as Firefox is now stuck forever at v3.6 and Camino releases are slowing down. Safari seems like the only sensible choice. Camino was great for a fast, streamlined browser, but I want something that supports HTML5 video so I can get away from Flash Player. |

Yep, those options are unticked in Safari's preferences, but sadly that doesn't disable Top Sites, it just doesn't show them in new windows or when you launch Safari. I've even tried a terminal command that's supposed to stop the previews being downloaded. Sadly, it only worked for about a day or so then the disk churning started again - I know it's Safari, as when I quit it the disk activity stops. Once it's done its thing, usually after about 5 or 10 minutes, the disk activity stops for the rest of that session - starting again next time Safari launches. Thanks anyway, guess I'll just learn to live with it. |

I tried using the mobile version of Firefox for Android, but it was dog slow so I just went back to the default browser. |
