I have been a Firefox user for a while now and after I switched to the Mac that did not change. I found that Safari was just not up to snuff for what I needed to do. I happen to have run into SafariStand, which has some of the features that I really like to use. I have the ability to do a quick search from the context menu and have open in a new tab, which I used in Firefox with the context search plugin. It also offers web archive clips, history flow, a sidebar with previews of the open pages and more.

To complete the mix, I installed Inquisitor to have more powerful searches. There was some hubbub over the program, because the author added affiliate links in the search results and did not disclose that fact. However, now it is well known and that can be disabled if desired.

Right now, this combination makes Safari work great and meets my needs. Will I keep using it? I am not for sure, because Firefox 3 is looking pretty good and with all of its additions and new theme it may just pull me back.
