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

    • I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
    • I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.
    • It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.

    • Hi. As the title suggests, I can't access the forum on my phone. I'm using Edge on Android and when I try to navigate to the forum I get a "we value your privacy" popup and none of the buttons are clickable. It effectively stonewalls me from reading any forum content.
