What browser seems faster? Safari or Firefox? I’ve been using firefox on my mac for so long now, I decided to do a little webbernet surfing w/ safari this morning. It seems much quicker. Pages are rendering faster, there’s no delays when switching between tabs, I’m lovin it. I don’t remember it always being like this. Perhaps it’s the updated Safarai (2.0) that came w/ Tiger?

   I agree. It is quicker in some regards. However, the GC Photo gallery doesn’t like Safari.

   No, no it doesn’t. One of these days, I’ll make that work.

   I forgot to mention this before, But I’m comparing it to a recently installed FF 1.05 w/only a couple of extensions installed.

   I normally prefer Safari- It has always been faster for me (update that G3 to Panther and watch it fly) and it handles 99.2% of all the sites I visit. I like it’s no thrills approach. Firefox is a great browser (but please get rid of those Netscape lookng buttons- reminds me of horrible days) and I use it from time to time. For daily surfin it’s Safari hands down.

   One way to keep it flying it to change the the History to a lesser number of remembered pages and to empty the cache from time to time.

   Cache makes you go even quicker!! I swear.
