Finally.. a reason to use Safari

[Deleted member 651465]

Hey all,

Was listening to an old MacBreak podcast last night when one of the guys (Leo) suggested checking out Inquisitor for Safari.

It's a plug in that gives you a spotlight-like search from within the web browser. Anyway, I checked it out and LOVED IT

I suggest you try it out if you like using Safari.. then again, if you don't it could be enough to persuade you to swap!

For those who like using Firefox on the Mac I suggest going over to http://www.tweakguides.com/Firefox_8.html (read from this page on)

I've ALWAYS modded the about:config file and it is much much faster than stock settings

Definately worth a look if you're set on using Firefox and want some free speed.

My tweaked settings include all the following;

network.http.xxxx (there's a good 7 or 8 to tweak here)
network.prefetch=false
nglayout.initialpaint.delay (you need to add this integer manually but it's soo good when you see what it does)
browser.display.imageplaceholders = false

I just never got on with it for one reason or another.. WHY WON'T IT OPEN NEW LINKS IN TABS?!! (I've told it to!)

Also, check out http://pimpmysafari.com for other sweet add-ons
