Safari Screams
TechnicalI've been thinking about making the move to Safari as my primary browser for day-to-day browsing for a while now. Please note my use of the word "thinking". That's key. I never actually did it. At least not until this week. Before embarking on a holiday vacation to the tropical utopia of northwest Ohio from which I hail, I made a pact with myself to use Safari instead of Firefox for all of my non-development browsing activities. Well, save for Gmail because, frankly, I can't live without the Gmail Macros script for Greasemonkey. Armed with these good intentions and the inevitable exception to the rule, I donned my snow tires and ventured north and west for a week of family, yuletide mirth and Firefox-less browsing.
The results of my (frighteningly) unscientific experiment? Safari freaking screams. Holy crap, it's fast. Really fast.
I didn't do any benchmarking or perform any kind of useful quantitative analysis to validate my observations (I mentioned that this was an unscientific analysis, right?); I'm just going to ask you to trust me on this one. I was impressed. I decided about 3 days in that Safari was now going to be my browser o' choice when frolicking about the Internet.
Now I just need to figure out how to get Quicksilver (link to Wikipedia because quicksilver.blacktree.com appears to be down) to open my Gmail bookmark in Firefox and everything else in Safari. Surely that can be done. Um, right?
