Safari on mac, firefox on windows

PS. just wait for a "OMFG ANOTHER POLL LIKE THAT? OMG OMG OMG OMG THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END!"

be ready ;)

But this poll is specifically for Mac platform, not that everyone would notice that this poll is for Mac only and vote for Firefox/IE even though they don't use a Mac. If you don't use a Mac, please null vote.

Yeah, I know. That's why I voted Safari :cool:

Even though there are other thread's, i'll vote/comment in this one.

I use Safari, nice, minimal browser, and the engine is much faster than Gecko (Camino/Firefox), on par with Opera (and OmniWeb uses the same engine, just an older version), with standards support, well they all support a good amount of CSS, XHTML, DOM, etc. (although Safari has issues with named entities and XHTML 1.1, i got told i shouldn't be using XHTML when i asked how to fix it, not very helpful).

And the 4 people using IE, i feel sorry for you, doesn't any of the others run on your system (as IE isn't better than any of them in any way, and has been discontinued for a while).

Used to use Firefox along with over 20 various extensions on Linux and Windows, but since switching to a Mac, I've grown to like Safari.

By itself, Safari is quite minimal, but I use it with PithHelmet and Saft, which fill in most of the functionality that I used with Firefox extensions. Granted, no mouse gestures, but I've grown used to using the keyboard and additional mouse buttons instead.

One thing I love about Saft is its crash-recovery and session saving ability, in addition being able to undo closing the previous tab.

Safari.

I'm a MySpace ###### and some of those profile pages freeze up my Mac browsers (Safari, Firefox, Opera...) which sucks ass. LOL There should be a patch for Mac broswers to not freeze on those pages.

yer alot of them seem to crash on myspace, mainly due to the amount of different plug ins you need to listen to the music, watch the videos and other stupid things

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By ikjadoon · Posted

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Danielx64 · Posted

      Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
