@felic: I know i’m right, i allways do research before answering to something, but in this case. i already knew the answer or something.

Off topic, but interesting: The only thing im definetley interested in mac is MACBOOK PRO, i saw it at a friend, i love the led monitors its like 117% NTSC and thats crazy (in a good way). Being a graphics designer and a web developer it really turns me on when i see that kind of screen. Think ill buy a mac book pro these days but with a 17″ screen. Unforunatley i really don’t have time to get used to OS X, (couse’ i have a lot of work: a big project for a client / 1 big project for me / another medium – big project for me and a virtual reality project for collage ) so i’ll just use bootcamp to install win xp. (i pledge an outh never to install VISTA – sucks on an macbook pro couse it sucks, pardon my language but i can’t help my self when i see crappy OSs like WinVista. )

@ stfalx : You're right - the plugins / extensions are fantastic. Especially the SearchStatus for SEO nerds like me (includes Google Page Rank & Alexa Rank) and the incredibly helpful Web Developer Toolbar which shows you all the CSS information and other useful info for website designers and developers.

Safari is a nice browser but it’s definatley not the best. I like the anti-alias that safari introduces, but sometimes it fuck’s up the design, the outline when selecting inputs also fucks up the design, let’s not mention the resizing of the textarea that screws evrything up. These to last problems can be fixed with css.

Example:

input[type="text"]:focus {
outline: none;
}

textarea {
resize: none;
}

Firefox is the ultimate browser, and it can still be made to look like an apple thing with the help of some skins. I’m not an apple fan, actually i really don’t like apple, at all. And one more thing, plugins like firebug / webdeveloper / screengrab / pagerank / addblockplus and many more make firefox from a great browser into an ultimate browser.

Adam, what makes Safari feel like an Apple? Is it just that you’re used to it? Maybe Firefox would feel like an Apple app if you used it for awhile.

I didn’t like Firefox as much. Safari is still my favorite because it “feels” like an Apple browser. i supose that makes me an apple slut too.

Firefox definitely isn’t for everybody. I think that’s what he meant to say.

James, why does firefox suck? What’s your point? I don’t know either way and your statement doesn’t help me, but if you could counter Tony’s points in some detail then I might have a better understanding. I believe that’s what you think but just supply some detail James, thanks.
