Title: Safari vs. Firefox Post by: spike on February 10, 2005, 11:32:56 pm Safari has seemed really slow to me lately, so I just downloaded firefox. I was wondering what you all use or recomend.
Title: Re: Safari vs. Firefox Post by: BTs_Mysterio on February 10, 2005, 11:35:04 pm I find safari faster than firefox. I also find the GUI of safari to be far superior. The general presentation is much better through safari, and I've never had any compatibility issues that can be fixed with the debug override of anti apple sites.
Title: Re: Safari vs. Firefox Post by: seth on February 11, 2005, 12:04:13 am well for me its pretty simple: safari @ home on a mac, firefox @ work on a PC ;D
Title: Re: Safari vs. Firefox Post by: Civrock on February 11, 2005, 12:37:53 am mainly Safari... but Camino for everything Safari can't handle respectively has incompatibility problems with.
Title: Re: Safari vs. Firefox Post by: Croosch on February 11, 2005, 12:42:11 am only safari... I haven't looked into firefox much but I love using the safari tabs, does Firefox have this? not to mention safari is Apple Software ;D
Title: Re: Safari vs. Firefox Post by: BFG on February 11, 2005, 12:43:15 am Safari prodominatly... but i somtimes hit problems with safari not meeting standards - and problems with javascript etc so then i turn to firefox.
Firefox is great - but i much prefer the GUI of safari. Title: Re: Safari vs. Firefox Post by: :MoD:Shade on February 11, 2005, 12:48:26 am only safari... I haven't into firfox much but I love using the safari tabs, does Firefox have this? Yes it does. I used Firefox for a while because it seemed like it loaded pages faster for me. Then went to Opera but had a ton of extra shit that I didn't need. Eventually landing back at Safari which remains fine for me, but I still keep Firefox just in case. Title: Re: Safari vs. Firefox Post by: BFG on February 11, 2005, 12:50:47 am I must confess i can't stand Opera.... and i wont even talk about the GUI....
Title: Re: Safari vs. Firefox Post by: Brutha on February 11, 2005, 01:28:45 am Used opera on my pc, worked well. Besides, it's norwegian!! (full of lutefisk)
Title: Re: Safari vs. Firefox Post by: c| Lone-Wolf on February 11, 2005, 03:29:24 am Besides, it's norwegian!! (full of lutefisk) (just an FYI for everybody, 'Full of Lutefisk in norwegian equates to Full of Shit in english...) Actually no, but i just felt like taking another jab @ Norwegians in general. (Dont worry, im 1/4th) Never used Opera, my progression was from IE to Safari. The one thing i really liked about IE is that you can tab through every part of the loaded page, so if for whatever reason your mouse is fUx0red you can still get around in sites. Not so w/ Safari, which can only tab to a very few certain things. Otherwise, Safari gets high marks from me. Title: Re: Safari vs. Firefox Post by: *DAMN Elandrion on February 11, 2005, 09:26:37 am it does work in safari too... try alt-tab :)
Title: Re: Safari vs. Firefox Post by: c| Lone-Wolf on February 11, 2005, 11:51:43 am Thanks Elan! You are my hero. ::bussi::
Title: Re: Safari vs. Firefox Post by: BTs_Mysterio on February 11, 2005, 10:25:44 pm I figure when I have to use something that Apple software couldn't handle I might as well us a PC...a virtual one!
Title: Re: Safari vs. Firefox Post by: :MoD:Shade on February 15, 2005, 12:50:31 am Damnit, I tried Camino and love it. Problem is my computer is so slow that I can't post anything because it immediatly uses up all of my CPU.
...that's when you know you need a new computer. Title: Re: Safari vs. Firefox Post by: DarK. on February 19, 2005, 12:31:02 am my f'd up keychain tries to control safari so I use firefox.
Title: Re: Safari vs. Firefox Post by: BTs_Mysterio on February 19, 2005, 05:20:32 am Safari's Pop-up blocker seems to be a bit off recently on sites like macrumors or appleinsder.
Title: Re: Safari vs. Firefox Post by: Civrock on February 19, 2005, 05:28:53 am there are workarounds for pop-up blockers like in Safari... and more and more sites use them (mainly Mac sites). :P
Title: Re: Safari vs. Firefox Post by: BTs_Mysterio on February 19, 2005, 07:20:49 am Tiger's Safari may implement some changes?
Title: Re: Safari vs. Firefox Post by: Civrock on February 19, 2005, 07:27:26 am http://www.apple.com/macosx/tiger/safari.html
Title: Re: Safari vs. Firefox Post by: BTs_Mysterio on February 19, 2005, 06:44:04 pm You're linking is starting to get weaker as the days go by civic.
Title: Re: Safari vs. Firefox Post by: BFG on February 20, 2005, 02:23:47 am ... Someone told me the other night (cant remember who, myst possibly) that the next version of safari wouldn't let you few PDF within the browser window... well:
Quote Safari uses the PDF engine built into Mac OS X Tiger to display PDF documents right inside your browser window nuff said Title: Re: Safari vs. Firefox Post by: spike on February 28, 2005, 07:16:04 pm My safari has been acting up recently, it's started displaying some pop ups, even though I have the pop up blocker on.
Title: Re: Safari vs. Firefox Post by: spike on February 28, 2005, 08:12:05 pm i also keep getting repeated messages that safari could not connect to server, which pisses me off.
Title: Re: Safari vs. Firefox Post by: Civrock on February 28, 2005, 08:22:41 pm yeah, i get the server not found message pretty often too although i know it's there and working. it's really annoying to have to close the error message every time and then re-click the link. it has to be a Safari bug since it doesn't happen in any other browsers... just that these have other disadvantages again that force me to stay with Safari.
