Safari was pretty slow and crappy in its early days (I'm still not
overly
happy with Safari under 10.4.4 running on my brand new super fast
Intel
iMac... I'm going to look around at other browsers there as well... I
used to use firefox on OS X, I may see how it is doing these days)
I just downloaded the OS 10.4.4 update yesterday, and when it
installed itself it put Firefox in the menu bar. I don't use it,
since I found it to be inconsistent, but am going to leave it just to
play with it.
I DID read an article that said that there were some significant
bugs in the new Firefox release, but haven't read more about it, and
haven't tried it. For my simple needs, Safari works well enough for
now.
I did try Opera and iCab and Mozilla and others with OS 9, but they
were also so inconsistent and prone to render things strangely that I
never stuck with any of them. IE was anathema to me, but it WORKED
and was the most stable of the bunch, so I defaulted to it most often.
Might have been my machine had ghosts in it that fouled up things,
but that was my experience. I'm SO glad to be on this new eMac with
Tiger. I can't get over having such a stable OS - Charles.
