Well I'm discovering the wonderfull world of OsX… and Safari. I'm not completely convinced for the moment (well I'm a Mozilla fan I'm afraid).
if the few ones who are actually using one of those could tell me what they're thinking about it…
Thanks !
*well sorry for this non very entertaining thread*
ditto on the avatar, they just get better every time :D
I don't know safari from a hole in the head, but I use firefox pretty much exclusively in windows, and occasionally in Linux (opera seems happiest for me there....not least because it cures the NOOL vanishing post bug :D )
Firefox is cool, especially if you play around with all the silly addons, mine is set up for tabbed browsing and mouse gestures and stuff like that, I have mates who's firefox looks more like an OS.
Look at it this way....even windows can USUALLY deal with having more than one browser these days, should be a breeze for a real computer :D

karine has been voted person most likely to be killed in a horrible way by a strange field of green light.
mozilla is better than mozilla firefox, IMO. i had trouble getting some sites to download on firefox. i don't have that problem with mozilla.

if in doubt check with Opera if opera chokes on it the site is wrong and full of errors....thus spake the W3C ;)
Don't bother much with Safari if you're happy with Firefox... Safari is better (for Macs) than Explorer, but that's about it. Definitely keep it around, though, as occasionally some sites will run better on it (as well as any Apple-related update/registration thingies), but for 99% of the time, Firefox will be OK.

I'm supposed to use firefox with os X…
I don't know much about this things…
Opera runs there too. i know people who hate it with a passion tho. Myself I like how it runs, and the speed it does it. i also like that their developers read the W3C's specs on web pages and browsers before writing a browser...unlike some. It give me a feeling of smugness when a page goes wrong in Opera cos I know it aint my fault :D
(nool renders really nicely in it these days)
I'd say Safari every time. It seems to have fewer 'issues' with some sites than Firefox does. Though my version of Safari won't run some Javascript properly.....But if you're running OSX 10.3+, then Safari should be oK. Try this link, if it looks about the size of a postage stamp on Firefox, then stick with Safari!

Maybe it's just a question of habit…
but I already had troubles with Safari…
And now I should have a look on Opera too…
I had high hopes for resolving the problem without the two-weeks-trying-anything… too bad for me

only way I fear :( I know people who actually LIKE Internet Exploder, whereas for me, using it is like deep frying my hand, while trying to fill out tax forms.

Opera is French, Safari is Swahili....hmm, tough choice for a fleur sentimentale!
I use Safari but I need to try firefox. Recently, alot of sites require safari if you have a Mac. So maybe use both

Feel free to email if you have any Mac-specific questions.
Cool.. I 'm going to download it now
