I find that the features that come with Safari more than make up for the speed loss. With browsers it is always less features = more speed, IE is sometimes up to three times slower than a simple browser that I made myself.

I guess that's a personal opinion thing, then. Firefox doesn't offer me the same comfortable feeling I have using Safari. Still: Sure, I want Safari to get any speed improvement that is possible without sacrificing comfort/features.

I agree with you fryke, about Firefox and Safari. I use Safari even though it is slower than Firefox, mainly because it actually feels more like a Mac OS X application. Still, it makes no sense why Safari would be that much slower than Firefox. After all, Safari is made for OS X and optimized for OS X while Firefox is cross platform, with no special optimizations for OS X. I hope for the day Safari becomes faster. |

Well, my only comparison of web browsing is my PB 1.5gz, and my office XP box. Although I agree, Safari could be faster, I feel the web pages load well enough on my PB. Certainly, Java has significantly improved on Tiger. I also agree, Firefox is a great browser, for the Mac it fails to impress, and lacks the Mac feeling when using it. |

I find Firefox a real chore to use. From its strange contextual menus to its odd Download window and "feel". It also takes an eon to load. I love Safari, and I'll stick with it.

Seriously, for anyone having any major issues with their platform being unstable, its either user error or crappy/failing hardware. Thats it. Our macs are G4 and G5's running print and sound apps and our higher end PCs are video editing and application development stations. We also have some more basic PCs scattered around as general purpose desktop machines (P3's and P4s). So far the only problems we encounter on the PC's are people installing betta applications or finding 'mystery' codecs and installing them. The problems we get on the macs are people thinking they have 8 gigs of ram and leaving everything open all the time and of course eventually running it into the ground.... |
