Old Girlfriends - Some are good at certain things - Browser Wars

[Flinders1231]

I use mostly Safari these days - & one of the major reasons is that I can read PDF files within Safari which happens to suit my tedious operational needs. Never-the -l ess I am somewhat unsatisfied - whenever I go back to my old girlfriend - Camino - she always seems to understand what I want better than the ever so sweet Safari, but she ( Camino) refuses to do PDF's.. I always get lost when Browser issues get discussed - because I do not understand what its all about - Safari is solid but unexciting - but to some of you out there she is the only girl in town! To me Camino seems magical even if she cannot PDF.

Erm... That's nice.

[Aa]

Can't she adobe reader pdf? the latest versions are much better than the old ones...

[Rasta]

Yes... yes, you're right...

No... no, you're wrong...

Safari just works. Unexciting it may be, but I like the fact that it works. I still use Omniweb from time to time, but I sometimes think it is overburdened with too many features (hence why I have not switched to Flock either).

On a side note, you know if you are a geek if you spend time admiring how clean the back of that TiBook is rather than admiring what is holding the TiBook

I left Firefox with all the customisable addons, to use Safari, purely for the inline PDF display. I read so many PDFs online, it was a pain to download them, read them, and delete them. Safari saved time on the last part, and allows me to just save the ones I want to keep.

The Firefox add-on I miss most is the del.icio.us one.

Opera.

Mouse gestures + speed dial. The perfect aid for the lazy geek.

WebKit renders best, so no matter what I use, it has to be based on WebKit.

If you need a bazillion addons then go Firefox,

if you want a smooth osx integrated user experience for the other 90% of the time, go Safari + inquisitor - Superior bookmark handling, Superior tab management and Superior contextual menu options (for 90% of your needs)
