Browser Wars: Apple’s “Safari” joins the fight

Friday, June 15th, 2007

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.

Firefox is my choice for everyday use on nearly any platform. I’ve tried Opera - and really like it - but the fonts render visuals I’m just not used to.

Apple’s Steve Jobs is hoping for a future where only two browsers are being used to surf the web - Safari and Internet Explorer. He actually thinks that Safari will take over the Firefox and Opera market share. What in the heck is he thinking??? Steve, put the bag and pipe away before you deliver your next keynote address.

Choose Firefox. Stick with it. Open source software is a great choice on any project and Firefox is winning the browser wars, so far. Cheers!
