whitebread Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Should I use Opera, Safari, or something else (other than Firefox)? I have OS X. I used to use Firefox, but don't really like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitebread Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Safari works with OS X pretty good. How often does Apple update the browser engine? I know Chrome uses WebKit, too, and they release updates very frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
still1 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 How often does Apple update the browser engine? I know Chrome uses WebKit, too, and they release updates very frequently. Not very often(Apple release security update once in a while) like Chrome but i will either stick with safari for it feature integration with Mac or go with chrome.

+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted February 23, 2012 Subscriber² Share Posted February 23, 2012 Safari. If you want to be on the bleeding edge of WebKit development, use a WebKit nightly build (see http://nightly.webkit.org ) - on OS X these use the Safari UI.

Glassed Silver Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Safari. If you want to be on the bleeding edge of WebKit development, use a WebKit nightly build (see http://nightly.webkit.org ) - on OS X these use the Safari UI. This so much. Also: bonus if you have an iPhone: it syncs beautifully. I also like how Safari presents you the bookmark/recent pages search etc. Safari now has a solid set of good extensions, too. Surely nothing compared to FF, but the basic things are there: AB+, Amazon Wishlist (which I use, genius utility!), 1Password, Invisible Hand, ... Those are some of what I use. I ADORE the built-in Reading List, sure it's basically what Read it Later offers, but it's built-in and syncs via iCloud. That way I have less 3rd party stuff running and it's well integrated. Safari really is a good option, if you need the latest WebKit, well, go for that. Chrome is excellent for any secure browsing session I do, so stuff I don't want to be tracked of. It's set to the most paranoid settings like no plug-ins (click to execute a flash element basically, no java), no history, incognito mode just to have a second guard. I use it together with my VPN.
