    I hate Omniweb now, used to like it.

    I. Explorer for me but I haven't tried Opera on OSX yet, I would say that that would be my preference but can't yet...

    Don't use OSX much really - just too damn slow, and I still can't get used to the interface...

    But... I think sites look brilliant with Omniweb, I dunno, it's wierd, but they do. However, for anything other than HTML, it's support is weak.

    I'm voting iCab, 'coz it's great... - especially all the little preferences that you can tweak - especially the filters. - and it's still only in Beta.

    OmniWeb offers the best Unicode support of any of them. I'm even using it now to edit my HTML documents because I can type real Unicode values and it saves correctly as UTF-8. Also it correctly implements Apple's Last Resort font (which they commissioned from me, I say rather proudly) for Unicode characters for which you don't have fonts installed.

    I'd rather use PageSpinner for authoring my HTML documents but they don't offer any UTF-8 support yet.

    I thought Mozilla was Netscape in disguise.

    Well Netscape is spun off the Mozilla codebase both running on the Netscape-gecko engine but Mozilla is strictly W3C no Netscape specific tags which unfortunately Netscape still has.

    iCab has some html rendering problems but is still the best browser for day to day use.
