Anyone try Safari? I think it blows the new FF3 out of the water. When I downloaded FF3 yesterday, it nearly killed my computer, it took up so much memory and made my computer freeze. So I had to get rid of it and came across Safari, and I wish I could've found it sooner. And this is coming from someone who's been a loyal FF user for 4-5 years now.
Does anyone know where I could find Safari plugins for Windows? All I can find are plugins for the MAC. I'm looking for an ad-blocker mainly.
FF3 is actually better than FF2 and less of a memory hog - so I'm guessing there's something wrong with your install.
I agree Safari is pretty sweet, but I only use it on MACs so I have no idea about the PC plugins.
FF3 is hood.
Firefox 3 is the ish.
Firefox 2 is the one that never releases memory. If you open 30 tabs, you're pretty much stuck with it using 300 MB in RAM until you kill the process. Firefox 3's memory usage is actually proportional to the amount of content it is currently displaying.
Safari is fine..But sometimes slow..
FF is my primary broswer... Opera is my second option on mac and pc. It's really fast.

Google Chrome... blend between FF and Opera. Very nice!

I haven't tried Safari, but after using iTunes for Windows, I'll stay away. Ever since I started using Opera, I cannot stand FF: it's simply lacking.
I rarely use safari on my mac. :lolQuote:

I'm on a mac, and FF3 is generally faster but less reliable. The speed difference isn't too noticeable, so I usually stick with Safari.
But that could just be me.
