Which is better in terms of speeds i suppose coz i like both layouts...


Safari 4
or
Firefox 3.6.2?


Or even google even tho i hate there layout, but mostly looking for Safari or Firefox and dont just choose firefox coz its a non apple product.

Have you tried running both on your machine to see what works best for you?

The speed factor for both are dependent on a lot of different variables. Every system is different.

I guess FF is better.

I think that it would be wise to try both. Although, FF may be a tad faster, it may not be true on your machine. In addition, the different features may affect your decision on which to use. There is no problem having more than one browser, as many people use that approach.

Firefox is better

Without a doubt, Firefox. On a Mac, it's the other way around. Personally, I use Chrome since it's lightweight and minimal and has extensions now.

Safari 4.0.5 is a really fast browser aswell, but the new Firefox 3.6.2 beats it.

As was said, intall both. At times I had 6 ot 7 browsers which I used for different purposes. I personally do not like FF - too much fuzz. But Safari is a nice little browser. Now I only have 3 browsers left but use IE most of the time. Opera is my next best choice and for certain things that neither IE nor Opera can do I use AOL.

If you're on Windows stick with Firefox. Windows version of Safari feels sluggish at times. However, if you're on Mac Safari is much faster than Firefox IMO... It will be interesting to see if IE 9 uses webkit (the same rendering as Safari)...


Try Opera! It's beautiful and powerful...

Just benchmarked the browsers on my PC Safari is a bit faster than Firefox
Peacekeeper benchmarks
Opera = 9515
Firefox =4895
Safari =5153
My Favorite is Opera its got everything built in Mail,Notes,Panels & mouse gestures etc.
I like Safari too it has colour management which Opera lacks.
Firefox is pretty basic unless you are willing to spend the time finding the best extensions & installing them.
Are there any versions of Firefox with the best extensions already installed ?

Well Opera kind-of looks like Safari. Though here's what you can do if you're going off-of looks: Try them both, see which is faster - if its Safari then keep it, if it's Firefox , keep firefox and go and download a safari-looking theme.
Then it'll be Moz. FF but look like safari !
