Best browser/e-mail for OS X?
MacUser3of5:
I prefer OmniWeb, with reservations... mostly in its lacking support of new tech. Extremely functional, useful, well designed app. Amazing stuff. About a 6 meg download, I think.
Chimera is nice, but kinda bland. Faster than Omniweb, though... it's my secondary browser.
IE is pretty good too, and is actually better than the x86 version.
Mozilla on X is a joke, especially compared to Chimera. Avoid it. Way too bloated, and it's terribly garish and ugly.
Opera is weak, especially since it's adware.
iCab is interesting, as it is extremely small/fast. (a 2.5 meg download if I remember correctly). Supports new-ish tech also, about as much as Omniweb.
Yes, I have all of them installed. I did trash Mozilla, though...
I use Apple's Mail, works nicely, well designed app. Haven't needed to try anything else.

Just download the Pinball theme, or Orbit. Both look nice. Beside's, what's looks got to do with it! It support's more "new tech" and is more compatible than any of the browsers you mentioned.
Sorry, I stand by Mozilla
err... Haven't tried Chimera tho. I think I will I have been hearing good things about it also.

No No No, you need the Pinstripe theme for mozilla, it looks MUCH better then any of the other themes. Its perfect for os 10.

Chimera is good, but you can tell its a beta. Omniweb is also ok, I keep it around cause it seems to handle java better then mozilla.

Chimera is getting better, it is a WIP though.
By Mozilla's looks I was referring to these things: Lack of Aqua-style buttons/interface in the default installation, and the horrific splash screen on startup. I mean, yikes.... :eek:

i thought you could chage the splash screen? i know, it should be something better to begin with, but like psyjax, i stand by mozilla. as for mail apps, i find that macs default mail app does everything i need it to do.
