Safari or FireFox2 on MacOSX
![[mail]](img/envelope.gif){kind=small}
| Categories: Computers and Internet Since getting my MacBook Pro, I've been using Safari. When necessitated by a web site not supporting Safari, I would use Firefox 1.5 on SLED10 under Parallels.
I know many folk like Camino, but I was pretty happy with Safari. Many things, though not all, seemed to go even faster in Safari vs. Firefox under my old Windows Dell laptop. I really like the true integration of applications that Apple has in its Tiger apps. Live spell checks in forms and the character palette come to mind.
But when Firefox v2 for MacOSX came out a few weeks ago, I installed the same day. I haven't hit an incompatible web site yet AND it seems to render even faster than Safari, especially on our blogs' administrative anti-spam page. The integration seems to be there as well, though I'm not sure if the Firefox spell checker uses the MacOSX spell checker dictionary or not, but the character palette works. My extensions [now called add-ons] that I used previously in Firefox all work.
Firefox is now my main web browser again.
