Best Browser

I never thought I'd say this, but Safari for Windows works pretty damned well!! It loads pages A LOT faster than Firefox. With Safari, most pages load in less than a second (no exaggeration), while pages load in 4-5 seconds in Firefox.

 

It's pretty ironic considering Safari is actually crap in OSX, yet it works so well in Windows.

Thanks, I'll give Safari a try. Did you download the "Safari 3 Public Beta"?

i like mozilla firefox, only problem is when you open several tabs the memory eaten grows exponentially.

 

That's a known issue with Firefox 2.x and it's currently being fixed (in not totally fixed already) for the version 3 release. I've tried the version 3-betas and it works a lot faster.

 

Fry, you can make your Firefox speed up considerably. Go to about:config. Search for "network.http"

 

Set network.http.pipelining to true, network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to a bigger number like 20 or 30, and network.http.proxy.pipelining to true. You might also want to set network.dns.disableIPv6 to true.

 

But yeah, Safari is a good browser as it takes advantage of the KHTML/Webkit engine developed for Konqueror. The new Gecko engine for Mozilla-based browsers like Firefox will be great also. :thumbsupsmiley:

Safari works great! I love the 'private browsing' (to activate: click edit, private browsing) feature. Protects me from the prying eyes of my wife & kids. Thanks fry.

 

I'm glad you find it useful! Though it's only beta, there are a few bugs here and there that you have to live with. Like certain items for example don't show up in pull down menus properly. I also sometimes get a "page cannot load" error when it loads just fine in Firefox. But for all it's worth, the Safari browser seems to be promising.

yeah safari beta 3 is good.. am using it right now..

i like yung feature nya na "reopen all windows from last session" under history.

 

minsan nga lang pasaway kahit i-right click mo to open in new tab..

nagpapop-up sya sa new window..

 

..under observation ko pa din yung firefox 3 beta.. pwede kasi i-save yung previous session just like in opera

 

 

who needs IE7??

Yes, Safari is only beta, but I am already using it as my main browser. Thanks to 'private browsing'.
