Hi all, Ever since getting the mac, I was told Chrome would serve me better; it was faster, easier, and vo would not be "busy" as much. Now, though, I have decided to make Safari my default browser, and here's why.
* Reader: the reader feature is amazing. I opened an article from twitter and was faced with a bunch of social network links and other junk I didn't want to read before I could find the article text. I remembered Reader, and thought I'd try it. I pressed cmd-shift-r and... wow! The article's title was a level one heading, and right below that was the article text. This will save a lot of time in the future. *Text Selection: I don't need it much, but now that we can select text in Safari and not in other web browsers, I like knowing I have the option; in Chrome, this would be impossible, or nearly so * Speed: I don't find Safari any slower than Chrome, and neither browser gives me busy messages. * Downloads: I haven't tried it, but I hear there's a keystroke to show download progress. I like this, as I had nothing but problems downloading more than one file in Chrome, even if the files were downloaded separately and not simultaneously. * The address bar: in Chrome, cmd-l brings me to a field in which I can type a url or a search term. That would be fine if it didn't also load a page on whose content vo focuses, thereby causing me to have to find the address bar all over again. In Safari, nothing of the kind happens; cmd-l jumps me to a (properly labeled and hinted) edit field and leaves me there. That's all I have for now. If anyone has questions, let me know. If anyone is using Chrome, I suggest you take another look at Safari, especially the latest version (version 6 I believe).
