So happy there are no adverts on the MacObserver website. iBookmaster said on July 8th, 2009 at 9:26 PM: Safari has instant dictionary lookup. Firefox does not. Safari can instantly add a photo from the web to iPhoto. Firefox can not. Firefox is nice but has a GUI that is too Windowsy. adamC said on July 8th, 2009 at 9:52 PM: Safari is fast, very fast. Adblock Plus? yea good for those surfing for pron. Mike said on July 8th, 2009 at 11:02 PM: Mr. Barnes - get ClickToFlash for Safari and block the flash ads. Get Safari Adblock. (This from a long-time former Firefox user) bousozoku said on July 8th, 2009 at 11:13 PM: I’ll give credit to Apple for finally getting to some security issues in fewer than 6 months. I’ll still use Firefox because it’s a full-featured browser on multiple platforms. Safari is coming along, though. If Apple continue to address security issues quickly and enhance Safari in more useful ways, they’ll have a good browser that’s worth considering. arw said on July 8th, 2009 at 11:18 PM: I’ll stick with Safari. It’s clean. It’s fast. I do think Firefox is cool, particularly since there are so many plugins available for it; but it’s too much like a Windows app for me. MaxW said on July 9th, 2009 at 1:46 AM: So does this solve the whole JavaScript issue? MegaDS said on July 9th, 2009 at 4:20 PM: google chrome is the fastest!!!! B9robot said on July 10th, 2009 at 12:57 AM: Safari’s latest update stops those behind pop up ads too! Those are really annoying. Safari is the fastest by far. Thomas Behler said on July 21st, 2009 at 10:53 PM: I recently Updated to Version 4.0.2 (4530.19) and ever since, Many, Many Websites text is unreadable. Fractions, and Weird Number characters, etc. are in place of where the text should be. I have tried changing the Text Encoding, Resolved Conflicts with Duplicate Fonts, and Even ran a First Aid w/ Disk Utility . If I’m having this problem then I KNOW There must be others, Who Knows what to do to fix this problem?
