- Alegoo92, on 10/11/2007, -34/+203Things Safari should steal from Firefox:
#1 - Stability. - NeMoD, on 10/20/2007, -8/+131These are all personal preferences, "I like the download box better", well I don't.
The only thing I'd like to see them "steal" is Highlight the current text field, that looks pretty handy. - bruenig, on 10/11/2007, -8/+112What an underwhelming list.
- SirNoobius, on 10/20/2007, -23/+102when your argument is "Nuff said" who the hell is gonna read the rest of the article and noticeably faster isn't a measurement benchmark.
- Lyanto, on 10/11/2007, -19/+9110) Firefox rocks, shut the ***** up already.
- spartan8103, on 10/11/2007, -4/+60Why is the private browsing not listed on there? Totally the best feature of Safari in my opinion.
- Kyderdog, on 10/11/2007, -3/+45#2 Plugins
- natenovs, on 10/11/2007, -3/+41i think his 'g' button broke
- dustinmacdonald, on 10/11/2007, -9/+44If you like Safari so much, here's an idea: use Safari.
- gamemaster357, on 10/11/2007, -4/+33i predict people will now comment with links to plugins
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -4/+32This is a joke but I don't know why someone would go through the trouble of creating an account and commenting on stories like this.
- Lingur, on 10/11/2007, -2/+27"Field hihlihtin is a web pae desiner problem"
What the hell happened while you were writing that sentence?? - DIGGerPhelpsND, on 10/11/2007, -16/+41Things Safari should steal from Firefox
1. Find as you type (no command+F)
2. Resize images to fit browser window
3. More extensions (Gotta block ads) - imcquill, on 10/11/2007, -1/+20some more: clean integration with OS X (on a mac)... address book, dictionary, bonjour, keychain (and keychain syncing with .mac... almost certainly this will be built into the windows version and iPhone sooner or later as well), cocoa gui, etc..
also, (for windows and os x) the rss reader, consolidating all windows.. private browsing - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+19Hitting "Submit Comment" once is usually enough.
- mistermusic, on 10/11/2007, -4/+22Way to go, tool. Let's bash other browsers in an attempt to make our favorite look better!
Go play in traffic. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -6/+23I banged ihatefirefox's mom 13 years ago while I was working for the Mozilla project. She was a freak; She even told me not to wear a condom!
- darkyoshi, on 10/11/2007, -1/+17Nof if you're cooler than the rest of us.
- Barbarino, on 10/11/2007, -3/+17Pretty lame list. FF find as you type option is something I can't live without.
- mexter, on 10/11/2007, -4/+18Oh, hell. Just fix the damned memory leaks so I can go back to hyper-enthusiastic recommendation of FF to people instead of my present merely-enthusiastic recommendation. Not one thing on this list is even remotely important.
- WarcraftJunkie, on 10/11/2007, -2/+15There is only really one good feature mentioned in that article, and that is the highlighter, and Surprise Firefox has an extension for that.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2792 - nyx210, on 10/11/2007, -4/+17How embarrassing...
- sethisastud, on 10/11/2007, -2/+14I like the "Activity" window in Safari...you can download anything on a webpage from it.
- greatblackowl, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13I hate to be the one to say these words, but Ihatefirefox needs to do something more useful with his time, like play WoW or something.
- jsully, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11For additional find functionality:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2585
For the highlight current text field feature:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1310
And IMHO the best download manager of any browser:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/26 - FXPooky, on 10/11/2007, -2/+12Actually they're called Add-ons now. :)
- milkmage, on 10/11/2007, -3/+13standards? which browser passes acid2?
- Neiby, on 10/11/2007, -3/+12I don't know why you're getting dugg down for that comment. I think you're exactly right.
- DaffyDuck, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11You sound a tad bitter.
- natmaster, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11@ blocguy (screwed up comment system)
How come Firefox's nightlies are more stable then Safari's beta? Nightlies are worse than alphas! - danielwsmithee, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8It works fine on Windows too as he stated. Safari a little bit nicer graphical overlay then Firefox, but Firefox does have the functionality.
- radmarshallb, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10Check the preferences before you look stupid. Oh, whoops...
- Appleologist, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9how about webkit's text-shadow, border-image, type="search" inputs
- ataylor32, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9I aree with you uys
- ed67, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8I'm a Firefox user but I have opened Opera a few times just to try it out since switching to ubuntu. (came with my install). Anyway, I like a lot of things about opera except you can't control tab behavior completely like FF with tabmix plus. The adblock feature is OK but not as thorough as adblock plus for FF.
I was surprised though, and continued use makes me like opera more and more. I'll keep messing with it.
This article was not only poorly written but sort of irrelevant. None of the features seem at all important to me and most can be had with the right extension. I know the author made that clear, but to me that's the entire point of having Firefox, the fact that you can install extensions to make it do whatever you want. - 0firefly0, on 10/11/2007, -8/+14hihlihtin? Really?
- dragon76, on 10/11/2007, -5/+11interesting, the version of Safari I have on MY computer is a final version.
- cardinale, on 10/11/2007, -3/+9How on earth did this make it to the front page?
- AngelBunny, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6i agree. also, most of what is on the list is os related not browser related.
- screamthenrun, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7http://duggmirror.com
- gsnedders, on 10/11/2007, -3/+8Y'know what? The issue often is that Safari _does_ follow the SGML standard, while the other browsers do not. We really need HTML5 (which defines parsing of text/html documents as is done in the real world).
- Kyderdog, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Yeah they need to add about a billion dll's and hide them everywhere that way it would be more "Windows like".
and oh yea screw with the registry. - Tippis, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Yes, but comparing with Opera is always a bad idea -- it tends to make the other poor browser look anemic ;)
(For the record, quite a few of the things FF could supposedly steal from Safari would be better stolen from Opera...) - dragon76, on 10/11/2007, -3/+7Um, web developers are notorious for breaking the web. If it were your way everything would be clickable static images and anything that moved would be flash.
- dragon76, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Ooh, ooh, I know the answer to this! Safari! It's Safari, right? I also believe Opera does.
- Fritzed, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6I predict that zealots will make fun of you for not calling them extensions.
- rabidg00se, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4You can absolutely type and find things in FF, what are you talking about? Try tools>options>advanced>general>"search for text when I start typing."
- imcquill, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4load a youtube website.. open activity window, find the 'big' file being download.. it should have the name 'get_video' in it. double click it. after it has finished downloading, add a '.flv' extension.. enjoy!
- imcquill, on 10/11/2007, -3/+7yeah, you can grab youtube videos and save them as flash files with it too.
- MikeCerm, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Install Stealther, it does exactly the same thing.
