I must say that Safari works great for me, especially when teamed up 
with Glimmerblocker and the Javascript Blocker plugin.  Firefox has 
always been a bit ugly to me (the font rendering looks like garbage for 
some reason) and it has never quite behaved like a real OS X 
application.

Aside from Safari, I also use Lynx every once in a while, but this is 
becoming more and more difficult with time.  I really wish it handled 
modern (aka CSS-infected JS-garbage-ified) sites more gracefully.
