Apple will never endorse them - it breaks their control over the experience. Nothing they want less than people saying Safari leaks memory like crazy or that it's unstable when a plugin is at fault. So I too am stuck with FF. Adblock, Flashblock, Nuke Anything, Firebug ... too good to give up. It’s all about plugins. Apple will never endorse them – it breaks their control over the experience.

That's the biggest time waster. I can put up with Firefox taking twice the time to load or being X% slower if it didn't freeze every now and then with larger / more complex pages. True multi-threading would majorly improve performance on the multi-core machines too.

I also gave up on Safari 2 because it would crash unexpectedly ?¢‚Ǩ‚Äù at least Firefox, if crashes, can open up all the tabs again, even with unsaved form contents still in place. I guess if it has to crash or hang, it's near ideal at recovering. There are a few plugins that I use on Firefox that I would struggle to run without now.

It's light, and runs just about everything I need it to. Every once in a while, I find a poorly coded site that just so happens to run better in FireFox, but the creeping extension bloat was the #1 reason I turned away from FireFox in the first place. It got too big and too slow. I don't really need to look to my FireFox to run my iTunes or show me the day's weather after all. For me, Safari is my #1 browser on both platforms.

I'm not a big user of add-ins or plugins for browsers so that isn't so important .. on the whole though I would probably switch from IE to it before using FF. Duncan,
