    I'm not a MAC user, but as a developer I'm interested to know how many MAC users us IE (Explorer) as their main web browser.

    If I'm missing any other options from the list above do let me know. Cheers

    Mainly Safari - but I have to use IE sometimes for sites that use some wierd window programming in Javascript.

    Safari mostly, I use Firefox only for multiple-tabbed home pages (a load of blogs like Eschaton and TPM)

    Firefox 98% with ip show & adblock plugins, safari otherwise.
    Would NEVER use ie unless absolutely no choice.
    My ass is exposed enough already thank you.

    I removed Explorer completely about 18 months ago. Explorer development for OS X ceased some time ago I think. It sucked as a browser for Mac.

    I'm 50:50 Safari / Firefox and when I'm using X11, Mozilla flavoured browsers.

    so far Firefox (around 55%) and Safari..

    Cheers all,

    Keep adding if you've just seen the post.

    I have the most elegant XHTML CSS styled interface done for my site which works a dream in everthing but IE5 on a mac... I'm tempted.

    Firefox, then safari occasionally (when I experience a little flash instability in firefox). IE - I'd rather not - it's out of date tech. Only when other browsers don't work due to some lazy ass programmer - and then only if I need to view the site. If the site can't be arsed catering to me then I normally don't bother - it's not like I'm a crank using obscure apps.

    SO to answer your Q, work away.

    opera / safari (but mostly opera) of course IE has to be used some times but not to often if i can help it.
