I have the same setup, running on a 5-year-old MacBook Pro. No slowdowns at all. I also run Chrome, Firefox (3, and 4 Beta), Opera and Camino. I have to test new websites in them, so that's why I run a lot. At the moment I mainly use Safari for normal browsing but do some detailed testing in Firefox because the tools are better. My preference is actually Chrome and I may move to that. It does seem very fast. Firefox needs a restart now and again to release memory it seems to hog. But, on the other hand, none of them are really slow.

Good morning,

I'm running the latest version of Safari (5.0.3) on my venerable Macbook with OS 10.6.6 and it's really slow. About half the time it seems to hang for up to a minute before loading a page and, generally, feels very clunky.

My question is; is it my 4 year old MacBook (due to be replaced as soon as I get some £'s), Safari itself or something else. I've repaired permissions (don't know if it helps).

If it is Safari, is there a consensus about which of the other browsers (Chrome, Firefox & Opera) is 'best'?

All the best
Philippe
