- Crimsonsoul343, on 01/12/2009, -2/+70When are they going to release the second half of the browser?
- timusca, on 01/12/2009, -11/+53Yeah, I really don't like the UI for Firefox on Mac either... I'm in love with Safari, but I'm always game for someone trying to change my mind!
- serif69, on 01/12/2009, -17/+56Huh. I really enjoy the FF GUI. It's far better than previous FF releases, and Safari especially.
- kd420, on 01/12/2009, -2/+32I'm waiting for the Linux version as well, but I'm in no hurry. I won't switch from FF until there's some adblocking addon (or any addons), so the wait doesn't bother me much.
- Lockhart1, on 01/12/2009, -10/+36Safari looks much better than Firefox on Macs
- Norumeni, on 01/12/2009, -7/+33I love Chrome so much, even though it doesn't have add-ons (which I think are just a bunch of bloat and distracting).
Why do I love Chrome so much? It's fast, clean looking, and the multi-purpose bar is pure genius. - Twiggy794, on 01/12/2009, -2/+23You don't know what Chrome is, do you?
- MtheoryX, on 01/12/2009, -1/+18Real men don't talk about men so much.
- mrkmrk, on 01/12/2009, -2/+18You're an idiot.
- deltapinto, on 01/12/2009, -0/+15I'm actually pretty excited about this...
Call me crazy, but the one thing that pulls me over to Chrome is the 'most visited page' that comes up when you open a new tab. Never thought it would be as useful as it really is. Having the history search bar right next to it doesn't hurt either. - StuartGibson, on 06/14/2009, -0/+13Except those that love how much better colours look in Safari.
Not a Safari user, but photos look better in it (random Opera fanboy). - InorganicMatter, on 01/12/2009, -2/+14If you're getting a lot of SSL warning pages on the internet, you are visiting the wrong websites. If you're getting them on a company intranet, your PKI sucks.
- manitoba98xp, on 01/12/2009, -0/+12I think you'll have to substantiate your accusations that Google is installing keyloggers on people's machines. It's not some no-name company – provide proof.
- forgiste, on 01/12/2009, -0/+12you couldn't be more misinformed.
- Nikobert, on 01/12/2009, -3/+14Yeah! Finally! :)
I'm wondering about the design... Is it gonna have kind of its own style like in Windows...? - inactive, on 01/12/2009, -2/+13I also agree, Quicktime IS horrible...but, alas, you must be buried.
- iericg, on 01/12/2009, -0/+10Tell you what... you can have Internet Explorer : p
- dext3r, on 01/12/2009, -0/+10I like how "use small icons" only changes the back button. kinda 'hurrrrr' moment.
- ferrari_f50, on 01/12/2009, -0/+9needs adblock... internet is vastly better with it. I can't believe how messy and annoying web pages get when i rarely turn off Adblock Plus...
- ModeSeven, on 01/12/2009, -1/+10Yeah I'm sure ***** Google don't know the first thing about software development.
- ModeSeven, on 01/12/2009, -0/+9Don't be that guy.
- SlipStream89, on 01/12/2009, -7/+16That's what theme's are for
- FredFredrickson, on 01/12/2009, -2/+10People are burying you, but I'll agree - QuickTime is horrible.
- LowFuel, on 01/12/2009, -0/+8Just curious - why adamantly against Safari? I dont use it either, but thats just because I've got Firefox working how I like. I have noticed some things are VERY slow in Firefox (reddit comment pages for example) that are lightning fast in Safari, which tempts me to switch. So, whats the reasoning for being so against it?
- MtheoryX, on 01/12/2009, -0/+8"proven"
Linky, linky? - SRSco, on 01/12/2009, -1/+9Safari is by far my favorite browser on a Mac. Especially with there being plenty of ad-blocking extentions/plugins.
- jsauter, on 01/12/2009, -1/+9Don't know much about software development do you?
- ModeSeven, on 01/12/2009, -0/+8Yeah well, that's just like...your opinion, man.
- viksmaester, on 01/12/2009, -29/+36Finalyyy!!!!!
(I hate the FF GUI on Mac) - inactive, on 01/12/2009, -0/+7what were you even trying to say?
- saddino, on 01/12/2009, -0/+7Stainless [stainlessapp.com] + WebKit Nightly frameworks [webkit.org] = a decent preview of Chrome on OS X
- duffahtolla, on 01/12/2009, -0/+7I'm pretty sure its a bastardization of that comercial, "YAHoooooooo".
- o3man, on 01/12/2009, -0/+7Make chrome yo home!
- the2989, on 01/12/2009, -0/+7I want to repeat that it is FAST. You click the quick launch button, and it's already open.
- inactive, on 01/12/2009, -1/+8How to block ads in Chrome, almost as easy as adblock. http://lifehacker.com/5046529/how-to-block-ads-in- ...
- apzdsx, on 01/13/2009, -1/+7What is up with people putting apostrophe's anywhere they can fit them? I've been noticing a lot of this lately.
Oh and, I know. - levitron, on 01/12/2009, -3/+9Aaaand...... with my luck, just like Picasa, it will be for Intel Macs only.
I really don't want to upgrade my Mac- I like the design of the G4 iMac so much better than the current ones, but all this Intel only stuff.... If only I could upgrade the interior, and keep the exterior... - Barleyman, on 01/12/2009, -2/+8I like these themes the best.....

- migitalwarfare, on 01/12/2009, -2/+7I've been a Firefox user since it was Phoenix, so at one time I was well entrenched in the customization mindset. I've since realized that most of the extensions for Firefox do two things very well: take care of something mildly annoying, and slow Firefox down in every possible way.
I've been using chrome as my primary browser on my office PC since it came out and, while it doesn't allow you to do everything you could possibly think of, it's a hell of a lot faster than Firefox at its' primary job of loading web pages. If I have the choice between speed and customization, I'm going to take speed any day of the week.
It's all fine and good if every website I go to is rendered the way I want it to be rendered, and I can download things in batches, and this and that, but if that means opening the behemoth known as Firefox to do it, screw that. I can deal with the minor annoyances of the internet if it means spending less time doing what I need to do.
Honestly, I think you're putting to much emphasis on customization options, and too little on whether it's actually worth it to even bother. - philojustin, on 01/12/2009, -0/+5in the mean time, check out the rendering engine and V8 with Chromium (open source project behind Chrome). UI is not done, so it's only in a test shell, but in includes benchmarks you can try out:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/MacBuildIns ...
Takes a while to build, so you can get a prebuilt here:
http://securityandthe.net/chrome/
I did a quick bench with the latest nightly, and here's the results of the sort:

- boozedrinker, on 01/12/2009, -1/+6You know, if you really hate it, there is a Safari theme that is hardly noticeable from the real Safari.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/110 ... - deadbaby, on 01/12/2009, -1/+6Born out of the code from the open source (primarily *NIX) project KDE.
- ifonly, on 01/12/2009, -0/+5I'm going to get dugg down, but you do realize most websites only exist due to advertising profits? As a webmaster myself we lose a lot of money because of adblock. I understand using it on sites with excessive advertising, but for sites which rely on a small amount of CPM type ads to profit you should really think twice before enabling.
- MacParrot, on 01/12/2009, -0/+5Building on what neb said, go check out EFI X. Use their recommended hardware, plug in the chip to an internal USB port and roll. Install OS X without hacking. I'd do it myself but I'm in the process of paying off my credit cards as quickly as possible and my iMac and MacBook Pro are new enough that I don't need to upgrade right now
- scruffles, on 01/13/2009, -0/+5Yes they are using Cocoa to build the UI from scratch. They have some info available here:
http://dev.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/mac-det ... - monkeyrun, on 01/12/2009, -0/+5"More specifically, the report notes that the Mac version has reached the "test shell" stage, able to display websites but not much else."
So the Webkit is finally working on Mac!! yah!
oh wait ... - Logicwax, on 01/12/2009, -0/+5all I ask is for working smooth-scroll! One thing I hate about using Firefox on my macbook pro.
Browsing the web with the sexxy dual-finger smooth-scrolling of safari is unmatched. Please do this right google! - CDRaff, on 01/12/2009, -0/+5I totally agree. I do not like to use add-ons. I use a lot of different computers, and getting all the add-ons working right on all of them is a pain in the ass. There is probably an add-on to fix that, but then that is another add-on.
I guess I am a stripped down kinda guy. Makes things run easier, faster, and with less things to go wrong. -
