I know this is an old thread but I'm loving Safari other than twicetab seemed to install fine but no matter where I click I can't seem to get the tabs to work?

I'm using the apple key+T at the moment but the twicetab feature would help?

And if anyone can recommend any other addon's, theme's sites I'd be greatful

Can anyone help?

I've finally decided to move from Camino to Safari. Although i hate the fact that you cant alphabetically order your bookmarks in Safari, which is absolutely ridiculous imo. I love how Safari frames the window perfectly, there's no extra window to either side of the page. Plus its real quick and smooth

I agree - but after a while its not too annoying!

+1 for safari here..

I never even looked at firefox on the mac and thats after years of using it seamlessly on my windows machine - i'd heard too many reports of it being laggy and buggy...

Remember 1997?* "Internet explorer will now ship as the default internet browser.."

How times have changed..

* bear in mind I was 12 and only recently watched this keynote...

O/T check out Pirates of Silicon Valley - very good! Typical american made for tv movie but quite interesting!

As quite a lot of you lot use safari i thought i would give it ago. Speed wise is seems very quick in comparison to firefox. However there are a few things that i don't like. Firstly i can't seem to find any good adblocking software. Also there is no mouse gestures software that is free. If i had these two things then i would definitely make the switch.

Is anyone else using the FF3 Beta2? Anyone else as impressed as I am?

I get on great with IE7 on my mac! Although I do tend to use firefox as my daily browser.

I didn't like it. You cant click on the little image next to the url to highlight it all, unless it can be changed in the options.

I use Safari and Opera.

Firefox on all platforms is **** (except maybe ubuntu).

Safari,

I was a big Firefox fan with Windows but just can't get on with the Mac version. Just seems very slow, even to open up. Safari I find nice and snappy. Maybe tempted to give FF3 Beta ago though.

Brando · 17 Jan 2008 at 08:51

Firefox on my XP work machine and Firefox on the iMac. But I am seriously considering reverting to Safari 3.

craptakular · 17 Jan 2008 at 09:34

Just started using mac os x.

Used firefox in winblows/ubuntu, found safari to be ok but found camino recently and I find it more feature rich and does all the things I wanted.

Rambaud · 19 Jan 2008 at 19:18

Opera - but it's the program which crashes the most.

Safari 3 seems a big improvement, and I tending to use it more often.

Spyhop · 19 Jan 2008 at 20:24

What did Safari 3 bring that made everyone suddenly switch over to it? 2 was virtually identical bar the web inspector. I chose that over Firefox, too.

J1234 · 19 Jan 2008 at 20:48

It's a hell of a lot faster than 2 that's why
