Firefox + Adblock. If Safari had a good Adblocker I would use Safari and drop Firefox.

That's my combination too. Safari has got some good ad-blockers out there (PithHelmet) - the thing with that is that it kept on resetting the window position of Safari :crazy:

Radish?

I use mainly Firefox Deer park (that's 1.5b, right?) mostly, but still I don't trust it enough to be my default browser. otherwise I use Camino (but it lacks many ot FF's features like extensions) or Safari. Safari works icely but I dunno, I've been using FF for over a year, so I'm used to it and I like it. I'll agree that it feel's a little more sluggish than it's Windows counterpart though (once you enable turbo mode and modify the pipelines it works like a charm... or two maybe)

Turbo mode? :o

Radish?

I have recently sold my Powerbook and got myself a PC (so that I can run some software needed for my classes) and I must say, Firefox on PC is a lot faster than the Mac version. Aside from speed, Firefox (Mac) seems to have some bugs too. For example, using the Ad-block extension somehow makes it impossible to view any videos from cnn.com (it just wouldn't connect), while the Windows version doesn't not have such a problem.

i think i have commented in this thread b4 and said safari.. but i must say since it went 10.4.2 i have found it very unstable and it crashes probably 2 times a day for me in the few hours i use it.  it seems so random also

I can't say I experience those problems. I use Safari frequently but it almost never crashes.

  • 3 months later...

I'm using Safari as my primary browser and Camino as a secondary one.

Camino has come a long way but it still has a lot of gui problems and doesn't use Aqua to it's full potential like Safari does. Can someone recommend me some good Camino optimization tweaks or sites?

    • You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.
    • I don't get this David. Can you explain it please.  
    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
    • Hello, The Media Creation Tool is still at v10.0.26100.7019 from October 2025. Just looks like the backend has been updated. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
