Hey, as i said this is my very first blog. I noticed that it was geting well listed in google but i was still deciding on giving up on it… until i just checked the stats. ha It got 13 views a day on average with NO advertising anywhere. So I decided im going to keep it running and keep writing.
So down to the question. Firefox 3, Safari 3, Camino or Opera?
Well, I started off like all mac users using Safari, and there is next to nothing at all wrong with it. It looks good enough and it is fairly fast. It also seems to read most content the way it is designed and the media plays fairly well on it.
Then Like most computer users, I got Firefox 2 when their big advertising campign was launched. Personally I thought it was really ugly and after using it for about 2 months, I went back to Safari. It was fast, maybe not faster than safari, but the looks really put me off.
Then I found opera and fell in love. It was sleek and stylish and fairly fast. Also the homepage sold it for me. At this time safari was taking up to 15 seconds to launch and i couldnt be bothered speeding it up so I used opera for months. It was brilliant at first but after time it became slightly slugish and the origional thrill was gone.
A few months later after reading some random off-topic forum I saw a link to Camino. So me being me just had to check it out. I downloaded it and I was in love. It was Sleeker, Sexier, Faster and Better than all my previous browsers. And after using it for months and months I have yet to find many flaws. It is REALLY BRILLIANT!
But then the day came…”Firefox download day” Firefox 3 was going to be realiced. So I along wit millions of users pleged to download it. And when the day came, I was the first person in Ireland to download it. Well I it said 0 Downloads and then after installing it was like at 300 Irish Downloads, but anyway, My whole camino relationship well, I had a bit of an affair. Firefox 3 WAS AMAZINGER < I know its not a word but omg ! Firefox 3 got everything that was ever wrong wit Firefox 2 and fixed them. And the main flaw being the user interface. Wow firefox was SEXY looking. So being the mad internet enthusiest and the big supporter of open-source projects, I stuck with firefox for ages, and ages and I am in fact using it right now. I also got the new virsion of the pimpzilla theme and wow, my firefox is my baby.
So a summery for you:
Firefox 3 and Camino ARE the best browsers for your mac.
Opera Comes in a close Second
And :O shock, Safari a close third.
And here are my ratings:
Firefox 3 – 10 Stars
Camino – 8 Stars (1 reason, no themes)
Opera – 6.5 Stars
Safari – 6 Stars
