Arguably the best alternative to Internet Explorer and Safari. “Geeks” seem to recomend it.

I’d say Firefox is better than IE6, but I haven’t managed to get my hands on IE7. Firefox had many of the new features of IE7 well before IE7, such as tabs which in my view are a browsing revolution on Windows . Firefox seems to be faster than IE, and more well thought out. I think all Windows users should definately give it a try keeping in mind that it may take a while to get used to not using IE.

It’s my opinion that Firefox for macs is not currently better than Safari even though it does have some simple features I miss when using Safari such as the notification popup when you’re about to close a windows with more than one tab open. Generally Firefox for macs feels chunky, bloated, and slow, but it’s definitely worth installing as an alternative browser for trying to view pages that don’t display properly in Safari.
