I tried using Safari when it was first ported to Windows, back when I used Windows, which means at least 5 years ago. It was slow and I couldn't do the things I was used to doing in Firefox or Opera, so I switched back after about a week.
I can't live without tree style tabs, noscript, ghostery, firemacs, facebook purity and especially adblock plus, which is why I have stuck with Firefox for a good part of a decade. Does Safari even have plugins?
What, besides allowing you to turn off tabs and being the unchangeable default on Mac, does Safari have going for it? In my extremely limited experience, it seems to fall short of even IE, let alone Firefox, Opera or Chrome.
- twiceaday 15y agoIt does have ad block, it does have plugins, and it is a changeable default.
- drcube 15y agoThanks. I misread. According to jwz, it is the unchangeable default on iOS, not OSX.
- maratd 15y ago> It was slow and I couldn't do the things I was used to doing in Firefox or Opera It's still slow. But you can do all the stuff you can with the other browsers. I use it for developing mobile stuff, the ability to switch user agents is built in and it's at least slightly similar the iOS Safari.
