Below are some of the web browsers available for most versions of Mac OS X:

- Safari

Safari is Apple's own web browser for Mac OS X (version 10.2 and later). It is small and fast, and has an easy-to-use interface. Safari is the browser UITS recommends for Mac OS X users. For more information, visit:

- Firefox

Firefox (formerly known as first Phoenix, then Firebird) is a streamlined form of Mozilla that includes only the web browser component. You can download it from:

- Camino

Camino (formerly known as Chimera) is based on Mozilla and is similar to Firefox (see above), but has an interface specifically designed for Mac OS X. It is available from:

- Mozilla (SeaMonkey) and Netscape

Mozilla is a cross-platform web browser that also serves as a mail client and newsreader. Netscape is virtually identical, and for a time was marketed as AOL's preferred web browser. Mozilla as a named browser project was discontinued for a while and has been superseded by Sea Monkey:

- Internet Explorer (discontinued for mac)

Microsoft's web browser was included with earlier versions of Mac OS X. Though it tends to be slower than other Mac OS X browsers, it is compatible with many web sites designed with it in mind. However, in June 2003, Microsoft ceased development of Internet Explorer for Macintosh; the last release was version 5.2.3. and it is no longer available for download from Microsoft.

- Shiira

Shiira is a web browser based on Web Kit and written in Cocoa. The goal of the Shiira Project is to create a browser that is better and more useful than Safari. All source code used in this software is publicly available.
