I find it as fast as Safari. But still playing with it...

Safari? Fast?
Shane's honing his comedic skills!
I suppose if we're into car metaphors, if something crashed as often as Safari did, it must be fast!

I just started using the new Safari when I upgraded to Snow Leopard, thinking I would use it to download Firefox, but to tell the truth it's so fast and efficient I haven't bothered to get Firefox yet.
I haven't liked Safari since it first came out, but these days I kinda like it - especially the 'top sites' view where it collects images of your top home pages, so you can quickly click to go to them.

Gotta test it. I had google earth on my laptop, and after a while my firewall kept telling me google is trying to run updates.
I liked Safari 4 initially, but I can't get it to access iTunesU. After a short while it hangs, and it's not the spinning beachball, and i can't even toggle windows or quit safari.

I find Safari 4 pretty fast. It was faster than Firefox with most things. But then again I ain't a web power user, so what do I know? Like a color correction noob thinking an AKAI HDTV is as good as a Panasonic Broadcast HD monitor... that's my level with online browsing.

No disrespect, Jay, but why don't you get him a hobby that doesn't require technical troubleshooting? Like oil painting?

As fast as a Safari...that's a good one - lmfao. Safari is a dog...crashes both my Wife & Son's Mac laptops daily. Firefox kills Safari as well with functionality & speed. Chrome (in my experience) is much quicker that both browsers on my MBP...crazy fast. It depends on how your machine is set up and how dependable & fluid your internet connection is. I keep a clean house

None of my browsers crash, ever. I use Safari for daily surfing and as a Google Reader client and FF as a Banking/paypal etc browser that clears all caches on quit.
The main thing I LOVE about Safari is the automatic shortcuts for the bookmarks bar. First Item in the bar is apple-1 and so on. So easy to go between regular read forums and pages and adjust your shortcuts as jobs change and go to pages change.

Yeah and I get a sub one second load on Safari now. Less than three seconds from clicking the icon to having LAFCPUG open. Bit nice.

Try accessing a link like this:
[deimos.apple.com]
I can't access it on two computers on Safari 4 and I have no problems with it on FF or Opera.

Works fine here on Safari 4.0.4 Strypes - it just opens iTunes, yes?

Re: OT: GOOGLE Chrome... December 11, 2009 05:10AM |
Safari doesn't do anything here. I clicked on it, went out for dinner, came back and Safari's still loading, and it refuses to let me switch windows... And I tried this on 2 computers running 10.5.8- a G5 and a MBP.

Weird. When I click that link I get a window that says 'One Moment Please' for about half a second, then iTunes opens with the iTunes store open on iTunes U.

Re: OT: GOOGLE Chrome... December 11, 2009 10:30AM |
Weird. Just tried it, and I got it working on a PPC... just not on my laptop. Probably need a reinstallation or it could be my firewall...

We could. I'm still wondering if it's something to do with QT and html 5. The download option for QT is kinda broken on Safari 4. No issues on Firefox. Can't remember if it worked on Opera or not.
