Mac web browsers

What others can be installed on a Mac besides Navigator and Safari?  I cannot get my Mac to play streaming TV shows through either of those browsers - both of them always freeze the browser.  They'll open a play for a few minutes and then freeze the program.  Will Firefox work well?

    Thanks, that's what I use on my PC - I hate Macs (sorry) but am using one right now.

  • Firefox or Google's Chrome

  • The PPs have it, Firefox or Google Chrome both work on a Mac.

    This. 
  • I currently run Google's Chrome.  I've was switching between Safari & Firefox. Tried Opera in between.  Firefox updates whenever it wants and freezes my window manager.  Safari is not supported for everything (e.g. streaming video).  Giving Chrome a try...

  • I think I'll have to try Google Chrome, now - firefox keeps crashing, too.

    You realize you can change that setting, right?  Preferences > Advanced > Update.

    Also, make sure you're not using the beta version of Firefox.  It was pretty buggy for me and I went back to the last stable (non-beta) version and it's been fine.

    As for Safari not supporting everything, the only thing it wouldn't support out of the box would be streaming Windows media.  Luckily, with a little googling you can find plug-ins that allow more media types to work with your browser/Quicktime.  It's called Flip4Mac.
