Safari rocks on a Mac.

FireFox did something screwy on their last build with the auto fill that drove a lot of users away until they fix it. There is a plug in for that issue but with so many browsers out there your best voice is to stop using it.

That said my alternate browser is now Opera. I will play with it until I hear better things about FireFox.

IE has not been a viable option for the Mac in years.

I've been using Firefox with not too many troubles. But I agree with Bernie. IE is on the bottom of the list.

Disable URL Search in Location Bar of Firefox 3

The “smarter” address bar might be help for some people.if you want to disable follow this.

1. In the browser location bar type: about:config
2. type urlbar in the filter box
3. Look for the line that reads: browser.urlbar.MaxRichResults
4. Double click on that line — a box will pop up — change the integer to 10
5. Close the box
6. change browser.urlbar.matchOnlyTyped to TRUE.
7. have browser.urlbar.autofill.enabled;true set to TRUE.

I seem to be getting the behavior I want which is auto complete the urls but only search through urls that I have typed in recently. It doesn’t include my bookmarks anymore.

Or

OldLocationBar (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7637) add on

test them yourself.I found firefox to be the best among the three.I suggest you not to use safari because it is not good enough.

Hi Rollerblader117....

For me Mozilla Firefox is enough to surf the internet because it has got add on functionality which is, i think very helpful when you are surfing the internet. Add on functionality makes easy most of the tasks, that we can't find in any other browser...
