Why on earth did you need to bring up a dead topic???

[farscapeone]

I love seeing this question appear on every forum I go to xD..

Anyways,, on topic.
I currently use Safari, and although I am a Mac fan, I'll speak my truth.
I can say that Safari is not the best... funnily enough no browser that exist would meet my standards of the "Best" browses, and this is because every browser has its key features. If you like a key feature of one, and of another.. and put them into one browser, you'll eventually notice that there is just too much to handle. (TOO CROWDED)

Here are my views on the browsers which I have experienced with:
Opera- A great browser, speed is astonishing. Views most websites correctly. <-- I like this one

Safari - Another great browser, speed is just as good in this one, sometimes better. Design is another thing (but some people don't care, but that okay ^_^), user friendly.. simplistic

IE8 - I find that this browser does its job as a browser should. Unfortunately it does have some weird thing about displaying what I want when designing a website. Can be very slow at times.. and It doesnt tell you what its doing xD...just freezes then not responding xD.. PLEASE FIX IT MICROSOFT.. PLEASE..

FF3 - Oh I just love reviewing this fella... Well my experiences with FF3 were not to bad. I must say that did prefer FF2, ran somewhat more smoother. I remeber there use to be a reputation that this browser was simply the best.. nothing better.. but I personally think.. this is slowly changing. I find that Its start up times is not meeting the average standards of most browsers. Worse when you put a bunch of those things called extentions.. There are quite a few great extentions but about 90% are just not great for such a browser. I use to use it alot.. but now.. it just seem a little too slow.

Thank you for reading my review and debate on this, Have a GREAT EASTER ^-^

Safari may be fast and super for some websites. But in my experience i came to know that Safari is not supported by some websites.
Internet Explorer May be supported by almost all websites. but it is the gateway for viruses, spammers and hackers to your personal data.
In my view Firefox is the best and still it is shown by the enormous number of users using it world.

Firefox 3 is just the best and I even have a Mac and Safari is nothing compared to Firefox.

Hey,
Great idea getting this thread going. In my dark cave the light of the news that Safari is available for windows had not been noticed before. I'll certainly try it out. Thanks for the very detailed info that's been put in here.

I wouldnt say it is the best, as I said in another post, I prefer Firefox.
But everyone has their own opinion in things.
So... I'd have to say no.

Chrome roxxx specially it's incognito mode.

[avester]

chrome 4sho brahhh

only browser that doesn't suck all resources up.

Safari doesn't have the close button on all tabs and Opera's too fast. so I'm sticking with Firefox.

And also because of the addons. :D and it has an awesome portable version.

EDIT: And Chrome has a big ugly font size on the address bar.
