“Many Mac users are familiar with Safari, especially if they use both iOS and Mac OS X (both of which use Safari as the main way to interact with the web). But Safari isn’t the only Mac browser, and it’s not necessarily the best,” Mark Hattersley writes for Macworld UK.
Apple’s Safari is the “best Mac browser for Apple fans,” Hattersley writes. “If you own both a Mac and iOS device you’ll especially enjoy the linked features. Safari is also popular amongst web developers looking to create mobile websites, due to its mobile simulator and sharing the same engine as Mobile Safari (used on iOS devices).”
Hattersley writes, “Firefox is the best Mac browser for those who like to tinker. It has a huge range of add-ons and features that you can play with to your heart’s content… Google Chrome is the fastest web browser, so there’s little surprise that it’s also the most popular. It’s also good for developers with a range of add-ons and extensions, and working in the most popular browser is good for ensuring website accessibility.”

Firefox. Like on all platforms.
Only reason Google has managed to spread its beach ball to browse is that comes by delved with allot of other Apps. Besides it is based on Apples work. And the JavaScript engine was made by a Danish company.
I use omniweb and firefox
Opera for me. In 2013 we need browsers that have all the right things built in without having to find add-ons (hello Firefox, talking to you!).
Just one small gripe with ALL browsers: why are they all hell bent on taking away customisation, look & feel? Firefox has stupid updates that break [favourite] old themes (& some extensions). Safari has no themes so is bland anyway. The newest Opera is still great but appearance settings have gone! And I’m not crying for the recent “girly” “themes” either. We used to have browser “skins” made by devs with different icons & ‘sensible’ designs. Now we have these horrible ‘girly’, ‘hipster’ themes for kids, OR you can have geriatric grey. Boooo!!!
PS: I don’t speak about benchmark tests or security because this is 2013! We have all that already.
Chrome, Firefox, Safari is the best browser ever. Choosing the best internet browser depends on your demands.
