Wow- Safari for Mac is nice.

[Guaranteed]

I've been using Mac's I.E. for a couple of years, now. Safari's much faster.

Anyone else have any experiences with it? Hopefully good?

1. I have a lot of experience with the guts of it:

It comes from Linux/KDE's Konqueror.

2. yes when i switched to Safari the internets got a lot more fun

and i just upgraded to Tiger and i'm liking that a lot.

3. I just loaded it a few weeks ago

and I don't see a whole lot of difference. My puter is a bit faster but not a lot. And I still have trouble accessing certain websites.

4. Neat thing about Safari

If you enable the Debug menu in Safari (gotta look around to find out how to do it, you have to set something from the command line in Terminal) you gain access to a bunch of different User Agents... If you find a site that doesn't work with the one that Safari automatically chooses for you, you simply select another one, and you can usually make it work. For those Microsoft specific websites (I hate web developers that pull that lazy sh-t by using Microsucks dev tools which just happen to produce sites that only really work with their browsers and OSes) you can usually get it to work by selecting the MSIE user agent.

To do this, fire up Terminal (located in Utilities folder in your Applications folder, usually).

At the command line, enter the following command and press return:

defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1

Restart Safari, and you will see a Debug menu all the way to the right of the menu bar. It will allow you to access a bunch of special features.

5. Thanks I will try that.

Now if I could figure out a way to get all my pictures back, I'd be happy. My itunes are still all there but the iphoto program went poof.

And I'll give you a way to contact me and we can get your iPhoto restored...

6. debug menu?

don't see it.

[SkipNewarkDE]

14. Follow the procedure...

Quit Safari. Launch the application called Terminal. At the command line, type:

defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1

Launch Safari, and you will have a debug menu

7. my mom has it on her G4 but lost the icon for exe. Is there some

site some place I can download it for her so that it will reload or replace the missing stuff? Thanks in advance.

8. I've been using Safari since it's inception

and have always enjoyed it and have had few problems that couldn't be solved. I tried FireFox for a while to see what the fuss is about but prefer Safari.

[Guaranteed]

9. Yeah, for me it just seems faster.

Again, just started using it, so I can't really see how compatible it is yet...any guesses on that?

[LeftyDarthBrodie]

12. No

It's been a long time since I didn't use my old or new Powerbook G4 laptop without Safari so I have no frame of reference.

10. Safari is a very nice browser.

I started using it during its beta period - at which point it still beat the hell out of IE for OS X. Right now, I like it better than Firefox, but reasonable people can certainly disagree on that. :)

11. Try Firefox

It's my main DU browser
