THE PARADOX, DANNY. THE PARADOX.

Well, Safari and Firefox are fighting an epic battle for my 'main' browser now. I love how fast Safari renders, but Firefox just.. does so much and is catching up.

New Beta came out for Firefox today, by the way.. looking through the release notes and testing it now.

I agree that Firefox is catching up... but there's just something about the WebKit rendering engine that I like better than the Gecko engine that Firefox uses. Bizarrely, Firefox feels clunky now after using Safari (and I'm not referring to speed -- speed is actually fairly comparable). I don't know how to describe it... I'm just more at home in Safari these days.

Downloaded it this afternoon. It's shaping up quite nicely.

Currently am Using Safari on my Desktop and it's proving to be a superb browser :) I intend to get it for my Laptop to use at Uni, and possiblly use Firefox at home.

Excellent, Chris. Glad you're enjoying Safari.

Safari for the Mac, tis the only browser for a gentleman. However, I have to use Camino when I'm checking my Virgin email, because for some reason, safari doesn't let the drop down menu to get to my sentbox work. And that's only with Safari. Any idea why?

And I use Firefox for the PC, but only because I know that they came up with Tabbed browsing first, and not IE.

Would be handy if one could choose more than one option in the poll box.

Chris Britton April 9, 2008 5:26 PM

I can just add one to whatever Browser you did not vote for Ronn. Which one did you vote for? I need to change mine anyway.

Ronnie Rowlands April 9, 2008 5:37 PM

Oh I didn't vote because I couldn't make the choice as I use 2.

Chris Britton April 9, 2008 5:55 PM

No point in changing then.

Virgin needs to get their act together and make their web sites more standards-compliant.

You know Safari is now out for PC, right?

Vote for the browser you prefer to use -- that's the way the poll is intended.

Ronnie Rowlands April 10, 2008 1:35 AM

Hmm? Virgin's fault you say? I have one helluva lot of apologies to make to Safari then.

Yes Safari is now on my PC desktop. I probably won't use it because all my web history is on Firefox. So I voted Firefox, but only because of the Virgin problem.

Actually now, come to think of it, I do actually hate IE, but I don't know where my hatred for it comes from. It could just be that you have to start it about 3 times so that it runs without instantly failing on the school computers, or just the way that it looks. I dunno. Just one of those things where I see something and I just want to punch it.

Ben Dawson April 10, 2008 6:51 AM

I use IE, but I really dislike it, I'd rather use something else, but when I get a computer of my own, I will make sure that I get something else.

Yeah, your hatred is completely unfounded. Go say sorry to Gatesy. Now.

Ronnie Rowlands April 10, 2008 7:26 AM

Gatsey should say sorry to me for making bum word processing programs that have cost me about 3 school essays.

Unfortunately, she would:(

Ronnie Rowlands April 10, 2008 12:50 PM

Well what does she have against you downloading it?

Josef Kenny April 10, 2008 12:51 PM

Maybe she's Evil.

Danny Stewart April 10, 2008 4:00 PM

She must be evil. Who the **** stops you from using a piece of free software that's safer, faster, and better than the **** that Microsoft gives you?

Josef Kenny April 10, 2008 4:01 PM

Some parents are extremely paranoid about software downloaded from the internet.
