Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
Yeah, but firefox is sucking equally these days. Yay for massive memory usage and for crapping out. Let's freeze the browser window every few seconds and let's lock down the whole browser because one script is running.
haha. tell me about it. cross browser compatability is becoming harder and harder and harder to achieve as these guys continue to try and make their browser "better". oh well, guess it keeps you and i with a job

IE7 is more stable these days.
Uninstalling/Disabling add-ons speeds up Firefox a lot. Only enable them when you plan on using them.
I really like Apple software. It installs easy, works easy and is very intuitive. Nice job Apple.
As for Firefox. I am a die hard Firefox advocate, but there has literally been nothing that has ever made it not hog up resource on my system and freeze it after hours of extended use.
Awesome I'll have to give this a go tomorrow at work on one of our windows machines. I'm really glad they've done that. I disagree that safari sucks... maybe it used to, but I've tried just about every web browser I can try and have kept coming back to safari. I've yet to write anything it won't render as well as firefox. JavaScript runs faster than in firefox (in particular, XmlHttpRequest does not cause that flicker you get in FF -- which you probably never notice, and DOM manipulation is much faster). It doesn't guzzle up memory neither. Downside? No good developer tools for debugging
Another downside to safari, I think, is it's usability. I know apples trying to go with this "simple less cluddery space" but I just like the way I surf on firefox.
