What browser do you use?
I just was a little curious as to which browsers are the most popular among the MacInsiders. I'm beginning work on a web project at my co-op which is very relevant to the McMaster community (I'll post more details once the beta rolls out).
Anyway, I'm just curious as to which browsers to focus on.
I personally use Opera, and I'm a part of their campus team. I also love web standards, and cool stuff with the use of Javascript and the such.
With all these new releases of browsers with groundbreaking features, it seems as if the browser wars have started anew.
Opera 10 is shaping up to be quite the nice release, and the recently released Firefox 3.5 is so much faster than the previous version, and has support for some of the future of the web. IE8 was released also recently, and is tons better than IE6 and IE7 (AT LEAST update to IE8 if you're using an older version, you'll make me much happier.) And don't the surprise release of Google Chrome last year which shook the ground a little bit. AND Safari now being the "fastest" browser, and the underlying core being used in everything from Google Chrome to Nokia smartphones...crazy if you think how far we've come.
Thanks for your help guys! Much appreciated.

Look at the thread tools and see if you can make a poll, it'll be easier to collect data.
I use Firefox ^-^
Edit: You beat me to it XD
