[flexcoders] Best browser for debugging on Mac OSX?
Anyone got a recommendation? I've been using Firefox, but it seems to bloat memory-wise the longer it runs - often consuming 500Mb after a while. As FB3 also is a memory hog, this makes it hard to run on a 2Gb machine. All I really need it a lightweight browser that can load the Flash plugin. Guy

Camino is supposed to be pretty fast. Its a little bit more difficult to set up your proxies but it is possible. I was using Camino but I currently use Firefox.

For debugging, Camino is great. On Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 4:11 PM, Bjorn Schultheiss [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Camino is supposed to be pretty fast.

RE: [flexcoders] Best browser for debugging on Mac OSX?
Biggest downside I think we found to Camino was the lack of Firefox plugins. Especially when you're relying on things like FoxyProxy, it does create a bit of an issue using Camino full-time. If you're not worried about though, and/or all you want to do is just test your code, it might not hurt to have a copy of Camino set up to do exactly what you want, and use FF/Safari for everything else. I'd tended to use the Intel native/optimized builds of Firefox (BonEcho and the like), and never bothered worrying about memory usage. Over time with FF you just grow to accept things are slow ... or buy/demand a new machine. --Tim Rowe From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bjorn Schultheiss Sent: Wednesday, 26 November 2008 11:12 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Best browser for debugging on Mac OSX?

Yeah, I pay for my own gear though, and my 2yo MBP is limited to 2Gb... :-/ On 26/11/2008, at 11:46 AM, Tim Rowe wrote: Biggest downside I think we found to Camino was the lack of Firefox plugins.

I find Camino a lot slower than Firefox, and it's probably an even worse memory hog. I'm going to try Opera for a while.

Re: [flexcoders] Best browser for debugging on Mac OSX?
Any performance increase with Opera? Debugging for me has also become painfully slow. Could it have to do with the FB 3.0.2 upgrade?
