Safari is Nice, But...


Every Mac comes with the Safari browser. Safari is fast and solid. I like Firefox better. Mozilla has a version of Firefox for OSX as well. With Firefox you add almost unlimited features (Tools/Add-ons). You should be careful. Every Add-On that you install will force Firefox to use more memory. Some add-on may slow your web surfing to a crawl. If you want to avoid beach balls (wait icon) limit your additions. There are other browsers for Macintosh computers. My third favorite is Opera (http://www.opera.com/). Opera is a great browser. Opera offers on-screen widgets. The best feature of Opera is that it will allow FULL SCREEN. Yes, something Safari will not do. If you find yourself reading news websites, you should give Opera a try.
