I’ve gone back and forth between Safari and Firefox for some time now. At work, we use both, along with IE, of course, but Safari is currently my primary browser. I’ve stayed with it because, for the most part, it’s just so much faster than Firefox at everything. Firefox gives a more predictable browsing experience (though Safari is more or less the same now), but Safari always blew it away in pure speed.

Not anymore. Firefox 3 RC1 simply blows it out of the water. Granted, I don’t have every extension installed that I used to (I miss you, Bauhaus theme), but it is so fast right now. It’s so fast that it almost feels like elements on the page are stumbling over themselves to render as fast as they can. I’m on a Mac, just FYI.
