I'm older and hard of seeing so I need to be able to scale my web pages and the font size of the browser itself, I can do that with Firefox and not with Safari.Īlso you can see I choose a persona that gives a lot of contrast for the type, white and black show well on the light blue, as it's hard to see the black on the grey of Safari. So for speed Safari is fastest on Mac's, but for most user choice and control, Firefox is king. Safari is also the fastest on OS X, because Apple provides Safari with a little extra OS X horsepower API's that other browsers don't have access too. On Mac's Safari is king, just like IE is still king on Windows because it's bundled with OS X. On Windows Safari is the browser that comes in LAST place, on Windows Firefox is the browser that comes in first place, although Chrome is a close second.
I don't use Safari because Apple doesn't pay enough attention to it giving people choice, forces you it do it "their way" and is just depressingly gray.
I use Firefox for it's huge amount of add-ons, especially No-Script (which only Firefox has) which is the best web defense against malicious websites you can get.įirefox is more of a "users" browser, it's highly customizable and there are add-ons to do all sorts of things.
Google has a lot of free stuff, but it's used to data mine. Chrome is a web browser put out by Google which has a particular interest in recording everything one does on the net as they are a advertising company and sell your information to others for a profit.
