Zal91 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I use a MacTEL optimized build of Firefox. I would use Safari if it had AdBlock plus, I know there are alternatives but nothing can beat AdblockPlus. This is the same reason I don't use Camino. Stay tuned, once I get my MacBook back from Apple I am going to see what i can do about this. I am devising a way to write an extension that uses the Adblock list is Safari/Camino.

c-e-l Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 No need for any ad blocking add ons that take up resources.. 127.0.0.1 is your best friend.. http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm Opera all platforms.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robus Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 (edited) Camino for sure. It's great and developing everyday. At the moment using an Intel-only build. A picture speaks a thousand words... Edited February 25, 2007 by robus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velayo Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I've been all over the place with browsers. IE6, IE7, Firefox on Windows; Safari, Firefox, Camino, Shiira, OmniWeb, soon to try Opera. I used Camino for the longest time until I found several RSS feeds that would make me a bit more productive... then I realized Camino has absolutely no RSS support yet. It recognizes the feeds, but can't display them in the browser. So back to Firefox. I'm trying to decide which format of RSS feeds I like best: the Live Bookmark way in Firefox, or the WebKit-based way Shiira and Safari do it. *shrug* EDIT: Firefox just owned Opera in every way imaginable. It will stay my primary browser for the near future; if it goes fully Cocoa that will be amazing. If Camino can implement RSS in the style Firefox does so I'll switch back in a second. Try this one: http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/josh/archiv...y_builds_o.html I'm still testing it but so far it seems as fast as safari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cringemaster Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Safari with Saft FTW!!!! But i do find myself using Torpark (Firefox Portable with Tor Extension) at school to bypass the proxies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manw Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Windows : Firefox (used it for ages) Mac : Safari. I am still looking for a browser that has all the features FF has. Unfortunately, FF works rather slow on my machine under OS X , so i'm stuck with Safari, which offers (for me) the best functionality, and has no speed problems. If anyone could help, i'm looking for these features present in FF, but not in other browsers : - double-clicking on an empty space in the tab area opens a new tab (Safari doesn't have it - you have to right-click and select "new tab") - double/middle-clicking on a tab closes it (for Safari you have to click the small "x") - middle-clicking on the home button opens the homepage in a new tab (for Safari you have to create a new tab, and then click the home button). I used FF under Windows for ages, and got very used to browsing this way. Tried most popular browsers, and while some of them had one(or even two) of the above mentioned features, it lacked another. So far, Safari is the best "compromise" option for me, but why settle for a compromise? Please tell me if there is a browser that has those features.

EFI Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Mac: Camino, Shiira Windows: Firefox I'd like to point out that Shiira runs insanely fast on my Macbook Pro...but not yet fully stable (the new 2.0 version), like it has issues rendering YouTube, and the webpage just flickers, thats why I use Camino too. In windows, nothing beats Firefox. Opera is good too, but way to advanced for the non-power user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReverseReflection Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I was wondering if there's any way to use alias (similar to Firefox or Camino) in Safari. I've got Saft installed, which I love, but it unfortunately doesn't provide this functionality. I guess it's just a minor annoyance, but I use Camino for the time being instead.

Kelsbells Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I am a firefox fan. I dont really hate any brwoser but for me firefox is great. The tabs are great and allow me to work faster. I hate that on IE in my work comp its constantly asking for an upgrade. he pop up blocker is amazing on the net even though it doesnt work entirely.

siddharth Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Firefox rocks!!! Opera also rocks!!! But to me Firefox:Opera :: 10:9 And that's probably just because I'm very used to Firefox these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabr Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I used to use Safari all the time until yesterday. The fact that it would crash whenever there were lots of flash adverts on a website is enough to drive you crazy. Firefox is a much stabler browser in my opinion. I just wish it had the look and feel of Safari. - Sb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReverseReflection Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 GrApple themes are decent in terms of getting that OS X feel, but it's still not the same. I'm currently using Pinstripe 4.9, it looks pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUKKU Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 I use: OS X - Safari for day-to-day browsing, Firefox for debugging websites, Opera for further browser testing Windows - Firefox day-to-day, IE and Opera for browser testing Linux - Firefox and Konqueror for browser testing My ideal browser would be Safari/WebKit with Firefox's Greasemonkey, Stylish, Firebug, and Web Dev toolbar extensions available somehow. It would make my life a whole lot easier :pirate2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
