I ditched FireFox. Using Safari now

Discussion in 'General Chat' started by TheVccMatey, Jul 24, 2008.

    I ditched firefox after it pissed me off for the 9th time by crashing. I had newly reinstalled my OS and downloaded the latest version, it kept on crashing while going to WP blogs. I just downloaded Safari and tried it out. I love it! :D
    It's fast, it looks amazing, and it serves the purpose.

    Any thoughts on this?

    I don't like the way Safari renders text.

    I've rolled back to Firefox 2.x.

    FF3 has so far been good to me. It's the most stable version yet in my experience. Too bad it did not work out for you.

    I agree. I had actually googled the very text a few hours back

    I don't use most of the addons. I prefer using google for any kind of extra help I need
    Yes, I will try it out soon. I'm actually open to a lot of suggestions
    My old version of FireFox was very good to me. Never crashed and never failed to deliver the performance.
    Welcome to my club.
    As I've mentioned, I had no other choice mate.
    I used to love firefox. If you take the time to see my earlier posts, I've always supported it. I even laughed at people who still used IE
    Yeah, I hope too. FF3 was extremely good.
    FF3 was very good to me for about 2 weeks.

    I love the Safari Text! So far my impression about Safari.
    1. Extremely useful
    2. Stable
    3. Looks extremely good. Maybe its because I've been used to the hard FireFox view. Safari brings class :)
    4. Provides nearly everything I need. I don't use many addons so I can do without most of it
    5. I miss the Google Toolbar :(
    6. IMHO, much faster than FF. Seriously

    All 3 DON? There is many more than three. Opera, Netscape etc -
    http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=we...s=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

    I use FF 2 - As it supports all my favorite extensions unlike FF 3. IE is crappy and I can't believe any webmasters would actually use it.

    IE absolutely sucks! I'm very sorry to say this, but I can't believe that they haven't done anything to keep up with the competition. It's almost like they've given up!

    FF2 is the best, although Safari is beginning to look very good
