i dont think youll ever get "what is better" because everyone has their own opinions
i like firefox, i think its the best
but i sometimes use safari at school, and i didnt like it that much

If you use the Chat server, you'll find safari has a better java interpreter. But for day-to-day use, I always use Firefox (like right now, for instance).

I believe Safari is just for Mac computers, am I correct? So not being a Mac person myself, I can't really say. THe best you do is read reviews. I've personally heard so-so reviews. But from personal experience, Firefox has proven itself reliable and able to hold it's ground against IE.

I like Opera, I like Firefox, I use them slightly differently. You have to consider the possibility that neither is actually better, but simply better suited to your browsing style. And, of course, lynx über alles.
The cake used to be a lie like you, but then it took a portal to the deception core.

"Better" by deffinition is a subjective kind of thing, anyway...
