Safari sort of magically appears …

Published by David Churbuck at 9:13 am under Technology

I hate browsers. FireFox is just fine for me, but lo, somehow iTunes snuck a copy of Apple’s Safari browser onto my desktop and so ….

Churbuck.com looks actually better in Safari — but alas, in the write mode in WordPress none of the Wysiwig editing functions appear. Which means I need to save this in draft, kill Safari, open FireFox and get to a functional window so I can post this screen grab:

So now I know what Mac people see all the time. Clear. Sorta slick. But I’ll stick with me FireFox — on both XP and Ubuntu. Life is too short for too many browsers.

    Safari doesn’t work with the middle scroll button on Thinkpads. I hope Lenovo will contact Apple to fix it.

    That “slikness” is nothing else than font-antialiasing…

    I hate Safari. I Hate iTunes, and I hate Apple sneaking things into my PC. Too much like AOL or RealMedia (some time ago). “Hell is all other browsers” (but firefox)

    Regards,

    I hope this was labeled as an “Apple PC”. See this article on CNet

    It’s much maligned, but my default is good ol’ IE7. Yes, I have an alternate browser (Opera), but really, for most purposes, why bother?
