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.

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

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

      Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
