Topic: For the Mac Owners: Which Browser Do You Use?

[drakkenkorin]

Like the subject states - what browser do you use?

This is geared more for the Mac owners/users, but if you winderz people would like to chime in . . . I guess.

Anyway, I'm looking for a new browser because I think Opera and Firefox are buggy since thier recent upgrades.

In graphic heavy sites (lots of photos and embeded video from youtube), I've noticed that Opera will slow to a crawl and then close itself.

Firefox does something similar - I'll get the spinning beach ball for about 3 mins, then it'll close.

And all that before the entire page loads.

I have tried it with Safari and although it doesn't die, for some reason, I just don't like Safari all that much.  I have been forced to use it though since Opear and Firefox are being bitches.

I think it's more the plugins with Firefox. I've noticed that when I disable just about everything, it has no issues, but the more plugins I keep going, the more random crashed I get.

I use safari, mostly because it loads almost instantly. Firefox takes a second or two to start up (especially the first time).

I also really like safari because it has the bash key bindings (ctrl-a, ctrl-e, ctrl-d), etc... The old FF 1.0 had it too but they took it out

The latest Safari is supposed to be pretty good (fast and such). I just caught an article though that said PayPal is going to be blocking "unsafe" browsers and Safari might be on the list.
I actually sort of like the new Safari but I'm still a Firefox guy.

My wife uses Firefox. I haven't heard of her having any issues.
