Safari! your thoughts? - Computer Support Forums

**Plastic Nev** · 21-11-2009, 05:31 PM

Yesterday, I was presented with an update for Apples Quick time, OK I don't use it much except for MIDI file downloads, but took on board the update as there is a security issue resolved within it.

I also was presented with the option to download and install their browser Safari, so having heard a little about it decided to give it a try.
Initial feelings are that it is quite different in operation from Firefox or Internet Exploder, sorry Explorer, so what are the views of others that may have experimented with and tried Safari?
Do you like it or hate it?

I Like it Nev.

I think browsers are going that way, multiple panes and tabs.

Opera is similar, and very quick - that's my browser of choice at the moment.

Internet Explorer I'm afraid is at the bottom of the pile and is reserved for the odd page that doesn't render correctly in Opera.

Well as an update, I am not that impressed, I prefer Firefox and all that it offers. I will keep it on for now in case there should ever be a need for it, but somehow I feel Revo will have a job to do at some point.
