Since my recent Firefox issues, I have switched to using the Opera web browser and I must say that there are several features that have really impressed me.
It may just be me, but is Firefox having some memory leak issues? I have noticed it over the past few weeks and today it has finally forced me to exclusively use my second favorite browser – Opera, which is a super browser in its own right.
I downloaded and tested Apple’s Safari beta 3 for Windows a few days ago. It was claimed to be faster than Internet Explorer and Firefox, more secure, etc.
What a disappointment! I used Safari on OS X and it was “OK”. For my first attempt on Windows using Safari, it loaded pages terribly slow - which was a bad sign from the start. I shut it down and reloaded it. It was the same, slow, boring browser it has always been.
I don’t like Internet Explorer 7. I tend to stick to version 6. Version 7 seems slow to me.
Apple is creating the new Safari Web Browser to run on Windows PCs. One can download it directly from Apple’s web site, which I did, with mixed results. I then uninstalled it after hearing about the security holes.
