My Browser Fickleness: Back to Safari
13 January 2006 03:16 PM | Apple
I'm back to using Safari for awhile. I was
using Camino, which I like, but
Camino does not tap into the features of OS X
the way Safari does.
But there are two things that allow me to use Safari now as my default browser:
1.) I'm no longer using Typepad or Blogger for blogging. Safari just does not do JavaScript the way the rest of the browsers do it so the WYSIWYG posting controls for Typepad and Blogger do not work with Safari.
2.) I have modified Safari with AcidSearch, which allows me to add my own search engines and change the default. Plus I can highlight and right-click and run a search on my new default engine - Clusty. I really hate it when browser makers dictate what search engine I have to use. Without something like AcidSearch I would not bother using Safari.
Who know in a month I might be back to using Camino.
