Wait. Apple discontinued Safari for Windows?
Blah. Safari 5 on Windows was actually good. |
Yep, they discontinued it, at least for new versions. Can still download the last version they released though. I think it's the semi same rationale as was used for Windows discontinuing Internet Explorer on Mac OS.
|
I talked to a friend of mine who works at Apple. They haven't made any OFFICIAL statement that it's discontinued, so I suppose it would be more accurate to call it abandoned.
|
True, that would be better to state.
|
I use Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and Google Chrome and I like them all in there own specific way, so I have no reason to compare them. When one gives me trouble, I simply use another one and I feel that all four of them are needed; because I may want to use all four of them for different things or use which ever one meets my personal preference at the time.
I have yet to use Safari, but from what I have read, I probably will never use it and it is not because I feel it is a bad browser; it is because from what I have read, it may not be getting the support it needs anymore, from the operating system I use. |
I like the little website names turning green when I've typed in an address. Helps me spot typos or if I'm off in what I'm looking for. Small details but small details rule!
|
I have never really tried anything except for Google Chrome, so I feel okay with it xD
|
I use mainly Chrome and Firefox. I just grew into this habit, don't remember how that happened.
|
I tried Chrome but it was weird. It kept opeing things in new tabs instead of new windows or just in the same window and I couldn't figure out why ^_^* I really don't like using tabs at all... Chrome also had this thing where it had a spare tab at the top of the screen at all times. which of course I was never going to use. So it just bugged me. I uninstalled it after a couple of days.
I use Firefox mostly, but it's been running worse and worse with every release, I swear. So I've actually found myself on IE more and more, weirdly. |
Heh, IE is the only browser out there that HASN'T moved to tabs-by-default. Which is sort of ironic, because Windows 7 is the OS that benefits from it most. But fortunately IE9 isn't terrible and IE10 may actually be good.
|
IE's all the way at version 10 now? :O
Wow... |
...my Firefox doesn't' have tabs by default. I think I turned it off somewhere, but I couldn't find such an option in Chrome (or, for that matter, many options at all, which was irritating).
|
Yeah, more recent versions of Firefox had tabs by default, but the option to get rid of them. I use tabs, but it would even annoy me if the choice wasn't there, because I kind of hate when things remove choices from you. It's like they refuse to allow people to have their own opinions, or to acknowledge that not everybody likes the same thing.
|
FireFox all the way ^.^
|
I use Chrome by default. Sometimes I use Firefox. I use IE once in a blue moon, I prefer not to use it...since I've found it is kind of...icky and uses too many resources in comparison to Chrome for me.
|
i use mostly chrome ans safari as default browsers since both of them are fast for me. used to use firefox and IE but they became slow for me lately.
|
So I set up a new Windows virtual machine at work because I can't keep shoving all of the platform-specific bugs off on my coworkers, and decided to dig up the Internet Explorer 10 preview for Win7.
... I am more than a little impressed. Seriously, it's actually a good browser. Remember me speculating about how I expected IE10 to be better than Firefox? It IS. It's surprisingly fast and has surprisingly broad feature support. It feels stable and I feel confident in its security. Chrome is still technologically superior, but I've never liked Chrome's user interface, so... I'm using IE10... and liking it. |
@Coda: you're selling it so good...I might try it now.
|
I really like Chrome's interface. :P I won't be switching, but I did see a funny IE 10 ad that was along the lines of "We know IE used to be bad, but we promise it's not bad anymore!" I guess it was true.
|
I have never tried anything except for really old IE and Chrome... I like Chrome a lot, and I am just used to it xD
|
Lul, that's amusing to hear Lucid. XD Though it's kind of late to put that now for their users who have moved onto other browsers. :P
|
I use Firefox and Chrome. Mostly Firefox, cause it doesn't freeze as much. ..It should be the other way around, but it's not.
|
I Use Chrome.. it has so many features that come in handy such as the Add blocker..is defiently cool..
|
I mainly use Chrome, but lately I've been back and forth with Mozilla.
|
i prefer Mozilla Firefox.
|
I use firefox and chrome
|
Must say Chrome is legiticussmaximus
|
I use Firefox.
I have Chrome too, but I only use it if I want to play Angry Birds^-^ |
I'm currently a fan of Chrome and Firefox. I don't think I've even tried to open IE on my laptop since I've had it... And I got it a year ago... Although, I'm now curious about IE10... o.o
|
I use Chrome most of the time and FireFox every now and then.
I've also tried Opera and another one which's name escapes me right now but, I didn't really care much for them. IE... I only use that if I have no other browsers on the computer xD. |
Firefox is best browser.
Chrome tweaks me out, it's like big brother Google is watching my every move. |
I use Firefox. It seems to give me less problems. But that's me I guess.
|
Just as a warning...Firefox hasn't always been agreeing with the site at times.
|
Ok. I'll remember that if I have problems.
|
I use Chrome, it's easy to use and since I use gmail I can just download the app and know when I got anything new.
|
I have Firefox, Safari, and Chrome on my laptop. I don't really use Chrome as often as the other two.
|
Internet Explorer really sucks. I find Safari annoying when I use a Mac.
|
Internet Explorer DOESN'T suck anymore -- IE11 is a modern browser that's got proper support for almost all modern web features, and it's actually pretty fast, and Microsoft has been putting a lot of work into improving the security. (It's still not smart to use Windows on the Internet without malware protection.)
