RadishTM Veteran Posted December 22, 2005 Veteran Share Posted December 22, 2005 I'm using Safari as my primary browser and Camino as a secondary one. Does anyone knows some good Camino optimize tweaks? Or a site. http://www.nadamac.de/index_en.php, there use to be a "pimpmycamino.com" site but now asks for authorization. Radish?

.Neo Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 (edited) Thanks, I'll look into it. I just noticed btw that Neowin's main page displays some bugs when rendering it with Camino. After a few news items the "comment" buttons are out of sync with the background. Edited December 22, 2005 by Neowave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d4rkn1ght Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I have been happy using iCab as my main browser. I can filter ads and do all kind of stuff! :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdf8585 Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I'm surprised more aren't mentioning Shiira. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuarterSwede Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I Don't like Shiira, maybe when more development has gone into it I'll use it. I personally prefer Safari with Saft. I find that Safari scrolls the smoothest with my PowerBook's two-finger scrolling which I love so much I don't even like using a mouse anymore.

They implemented RSS support similar to Safari's, and a whole bunch of other WebKit features. I think it still needs a little work but its come a huge way in a short time, and Tab Expos? is an amazing feature that I'd love to see implemented into Safari.

MulletRobZ Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I use Safari three quarters of the time, but I also got Firefox on just in case the odd site doesn't render properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dt Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Is Safari in Tiger much better than it is in Panther, aside from RSS support? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d4rkn1ght Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 They seriously need to get rid of that Mac OS X 10.1 look. :/ Sure you know, that you can customize it to look whatever you want. Just like every other browser. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Neo Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 (edited) Sure you know, that you can customize it to look whatever you want. Just like every other browser. :rolleyes: Todays browsers should fit in with Mac OS X 10.4 by default. Most elements from iCab still originate from 10.1 including those Aqua tabs which can't be easily replaced. The toolbar icons aren't replaceable in the way you would expect them to be in Mac OS X either. The package contents of iCab.app is everything but standard. I suggest you keep that " :rolleyes: " to yourself. Edited December 24, 2005 by Neowave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MulletRobZ Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Is Safari in Tiger much better than it is in Panther, aside from RSS support? Big time, yes! It's the only web browser on Earth that renders the Second Acid Test successfully and most web sites can be viewed flawlessly. But still, it's recommended to have Firefox in case you run into a site that doesn't work right in Safari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of other web sites that show you how to customize iCab. More than what they show you in their main page. You probably don't like it because the customization might not look the same way as your favorite browser do. But there is more than looks in a browser. I think iCab has potential. They have come a long way since they started. They just released another beta update the other day! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably don't like it because the customization might not look the same way as your favorite browser do. But there is more than looks in a browser. And yeah of course there's more to a browser than it's looks, the thing is I want both and iCab doesn't offer that in my opinion. Plus I really don't feel like hunting down special iCab theme files or hex editing the application to get rid of those Mac OS X 10.0 tabs. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoTrunks Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Since checking out this thread a second time, I've started using the latest Shiira. So far, I like it. It seems to be a bit snappier than Safari. Though, I wish it showed the number of unread entries in the RSS shortcuts on the bookmarks bar like Safari does. Other than that, it's an excellent browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that, it's an excellent browser. I'd agree. Shiira is an excellent package and with v1.2, it seems so much better. It is my default browser and it works well with those iritating WYSIWYG editors that come with CMSes. Certainly a good browser which has a lot of potential.

iBrat Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I chose Firefox because its what I used in Windows and was used to. I don't really like Safari that much, although is not much different. I am really picky about change... although it didn't take much to go from Windows to OS X :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yvo Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Safari on some, Firefox on others. Safari's support on large HTML pages blows big chunks. For example... our email server @ work, Communigate has a log feature and I use it to errors customers may be experiencing. Trying it do it from Safari would look it up, which is just no good. Do it with Firefox and the 100mb file just loads up fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
