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.

Better site compatibility for a start. I had a handful of sites on 10.4 that wouldn't display properly so I had to use Firefox or IE6 via Parallels.

Everything now works and displays fine in Safari 3 on Leopard. The only thing I need Firefox for now is to Citrix into work.

Im so glad i switched to Safari from Camino. Much nicer browser to use imo.

I was using Safari, but I have just started to use Firefox. But I might go back to Safari.

Used to use Camino on Tiger but after switching to Leopard I have been using Safari full time. The one feature I really like is the way 'find in page' works.

Unbelievably the only browser that has ever handled bookmarks the way I like is IE(!), how freaking difficult is it to have the option to *automatically* sort bookmarks.

Safari

Safari... but I tell you what its getting on my nerves these days. I can just about live with it not opening hotmail but recently javascript has been "breaking". Occasionally any hyperlink loaded with JS just refuses to work, forcing me to reset Safari to get it working again. Then, less frequently, it will just crash outright.

I'm not 100% sure what the problem is but its getting annoying. I never had any of these problem with Safari 2 on Tiger.

The new firefox beta (5), is FAST.

I'm using firefox as I find a lot of the extensions handy

I remember trying a free browser which was like that omniweb one with preview tabs on the sidebar. Think it was from a Japanese site or something. Can't remember now, but I might try it again now I have a widescreen monitor.

Was it Shiira you were thinking of?

Just tried shiira and within a few minutes it crashed

Couldn't get the tab preview thing onto the side like on the previous version either

To have the tab preview on the side,
goto Preferences->Page dock and tab->Tab Bar then change the button to left (or right if you prefer), then switch back to PageDock and it will appear on the correct side.

I can't seem to get it to work

I remember doing that on version 2 but it's not working with 2.2? :confused:

I even tried editing the plist to set the tab bar style but it makes no difference.

I use FF to access Hotmail but that's it.

Firefox for me, since adplock is absolutely 100% essential for me.
Cannot bare to browse the web without adblock plus

Firefox 3 beta is impressing me at the moment. It's waaay quicker than 2, doesn't leak memory like a sieve and is a lot more snappy in use. If the finished product is this good then I'll consider using it instead of Safari.
