Tiger kicks your ass on Safari

Tiger, as a whole, rocks. No doubt about it. But ever since I upgraded, Safari has been not loading images. As in, it shows the question mark in a box where an image should be. A lot.

So now I’m using Camino and loving it. It’s Mozilla, specifically for the Mac. It’s super-fast and is much more Mac-like than Firefox. It renders very well, and in fact, renders better than Safari in that there are things Camino can render where Safari cannot. Like the Wordpress editing interface. Safari can’t render the html editor at all. Camino has no trouble.

I want to like Safari. It’s very pretty when it wants to show a page. But I have stuff to do. And I need a reliable browser. Camino fits the bill. For now.

  • <p>For those wanting more than Safari there also SafariOnAcid which is an optimised build of WebKit. It&rsquo;s faster, more compatible, and as crashy as nightly compiled software will be.</p>

  • <p>Ive always used firefox on osx and find it perfectly good plus its familiar since I use it in linux all the time. Ive never realy bothered with safari even though it useskhtml and now webcore is being used by some other projects so its kinda cool and &ldquo;free enough&rdquo;</p>

  • <p>Firefox is good, but not very Mac-like. Lately I&rsquo;ve been quite happy with <a href='http://www.omnigroup.com' rel='nofollow' rel="nofollow">OmniWeb.</a> It&rsquo;s using WebCore and it has the distinction of being the oldest graphical web browser (it predates Mosaic).</p>
