    Safari

    Just started using Safari as my browser, very nice, very fast, smooth, easy to use and great functions, large screen and a small border. Very happy.

    Anyone else?

    Pros and cons?

    Yes, but I have not been using it. I went from IE to FF and now have just decided to give Safari a try. Audi have been available since 1909 but I only started driving them 6 years ago.

    Use safari for TD and the "reader" function is great when reading online newspapers, very fast.

    Default browser on the iPhone, I prefer Opera on Mobile a lot slicker (feel free to attack android users)

    Back in the days I was a Netscape supporter so it goes without comment that FF is the browser by default nowadays.

    No doubt there will be 1001 IT experts posting the pro's and con's of each browser later but for me FF on PC and Opera on mobile, no technical waffle it works for me.

    So far I'm finding Safari to be preferable to FF on my notebook, and I'm a big fan of FF.

    No there are some problems with TD functions, so I shift to firefox sometimes, but Safari works well on my apple with the mail getting updates of new posts from subscribed threads.

    Copy and Paste function seems to work better than FF. The Safari C&P recognizes line spaces, FF never did.

    Yes somethings work fine others don't work at all, you tube vids, copying and pasting a banner link on TD from one thread to another, that was before the latest big update recently haven't tried since.

    same, wasn't too impressed, and it's very slow, and there are some major JavaScript compatibility issues.

    Incidentally Apple website doesn't render well in FF or IE anymore,

    Safari is a typical iTard product that doesn't display the internet properly, so no, I don't use it.

    I had trouble with finding a good adblock filter a while back, never bothered since. Chrome has the best startup speed, plus its got the best screen real estate, but firefox has the best addons. Its a tough call, I use both.

    Okay, Safari seemed good at first, but once you start trying to get around doing a range of different tasks then you soon find a number of problems with it. It has now been sacked.

    What browsers is everyone here using?

    FF on my main PCs (for the add-ons) and Chrome on my laptop (for speed).
