Re: [CGUYS] safari3.1 update
Sure does ...M$IE7 takes around 2x as long to load a webpage as does Opera9.50b in my unofficial time test (measured by how long I have to muse I were in the Cayman Is) ...didn't try Safari3.1 as I started the dld last night and got bumped during the night, was half done, tried resume in safari which started it over from the beginning ...drat!! The end of my safari with safari for now. -Original Message- From: Jordan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 24, 2008 7:01 PM Subject: Re: safari3.1 update If you are on dial-up, a fast browser won't make a difference, eh? rlsimon wrote: Izit faster than Opera (latest full ver 9.25, I use 9.50beta) ??

Re: [CGUYS] safari3.1 update
Good advice, I hadn't received your pimpmysafari.com msg so this isn't really a repeat just a simple pete. The del.icio.us tools work kinda backwards...I use the extension that lets you tag bookmarks for del.icio.us without having to bookmark them locally. Not a biggie type of deal. Like I said I like the way safari renders text, that alone may be a reason to switch or use it more often if I'm reading a lot online.

Re: [CGUYS] safari3.1 update
Sometimes I use safari for windows for a change of landscape ...I have 3.0.2 ...is the 3.1 update needed (I have dialup and 39mb is gonna take days) ?? It is hard to call any update needed. I would call it interesting. 3.1 is twice as fast as the next fastest browser. The big deal is that with 3.1 Apple leads the pack with the inclusion of some new HTML5 features. One is the ability to download and use fonts for screen display and the other is CSS-based animations. Of course this does not matter much because it will take years for IE to catch up and most sites will not use advanced features until they are blessed by the great monopolist. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Re: [CGUYS] safari3.1 update
Twice as fast in lab tests run by lab rats. Remember how fast Apple used to say PPC chips were? I'd wager not one sane user of pc's or macs can really tell the difference in render times between say IE or firefox or Safari. The biggest benefit I see trying out Safari is Apple knows how to render text, that part is beautiful. Faster though, not something I noticed at all. Nor did the couple of reviews I read/heard. I do notice the three or four extensions I use heavily I can't use. Also there is Apple's typical 'you'll use it the way we want you to use it cause we know best attitude'. Not much in the way of changing the look of Safari etc. Although it does have the cool animation flip thing to show preferences.
