Safari. It does what I need, I don't use more than 2 tabs at a time, and I fucking hate Chrome and all things Google because of it's ad-tracking and intrusive horse shit.

Never thought I'd say it but I'm using Safari again, and it's great.
I've used chrome for years, and safari used to lock my mac up, but on my new macbook on yosemite chrome drains the battery and makes the fan turn to jet engine setting. Safari works beautifully.- I landed on Safari as well. Occasionally pop open chrome for code inspector. Chrome's UI feels clunky after using Safari. Safari has so little chrome, it's nicejtb26
- same here, just recently moved back and it's sooo fastmonospaced
- it really is, I like it, and I agree about the UI.set
- wish there was another alternative - chrome has gone downhill but really don't want to be forced to use another poor browser because of thatfadein11
- Safari is and always has been shitfadein11
- Yeah, Safari is great on osx, especially if you are using battery. Much more efficient, at least on my machine.nb
- lol at Safari beeing shit. just shows how much you're biased man.ESKEMA

Went back to chrome, the Recently Visited & Recently Closed functionality is something I use a lot and it's so much better on Chrome - Safari never seems to show what I had open.

One thing I like about Safari is that the any open tabs on my Mac are visible on my iPhone. But regardless of features, Safari is just so energy-efficient on a MBP that I can't see myself switching any time soon.

Man that's embarrassing.

Monday: back to Firefox. The Web Developer Add stopped working. I don't like how activity monitor shows about 25 Chrome Helpers in the memory list. I don't like how piggish and whorish it's been lately.

Anyone having trouble with Safari the past week or so? It seems to hang up on some sites. I get the beach ball sometimes on certain DIVs on the screen or in the menu bar. I'm giving it another few days, if it's not fixed, I guess I'll go back to FF?

our web developer is out of the country and we have a client that is having a "Unicode" issue with a google font on a chrome browser on PC.
Know any fixes for this or what the actual issue is? is it a unicode issue
https://imgur.com/a/F89pEjK- look at the source code. (highlight text, right click Inspect)...could be some non-standard character in the text from copy paste from word or so.uan

Firefox 75.0 now automatically opens links in tabs when right-clicked, no context menu. Didn't know I needed that.
- How do you copy links then?section_014
- I now suspect it's my tablet being wonky.i_monk
- Hmm, mine doesn't? Not entirely happy with the new address bar functionality - it presumes a bit too much.
"Didn't know I needed that"... .Nairn - (apparently they're already nixing a lot of Address Bar stuff in the nightly builds, but I don't really do that sort of thing any more)Nairn
- Don't like this. I'd rather have the menudbloc
