July 24, 200917 yr comment_259005 ^ fixed I found a big jump in speed over v.3, and it's been stable for me so far. Report

August 17, 200917 yr comment_266996 FF 3.5.2 is horrible on my Mac. I'm actually considering going back to safari. i've been extremely pleased with safari 4 since it was released. i honestly haven't liked any of the firefox releases on mac. Report
August 17, 200917 yr comment_266998 Yeah, I really hadn't given Safari 4 much of a chance. But I'm really liking it now in terms of speed. I do miss the add ons with FF, but those create their own problems. Report
August 17, 200917 yr comment_267071 Safari 4 in Snow Leopard is so insanely quick (anything clicked on in GMail loads instantly) if it weren't for the better adblock plug-ins in Firefox and other stuff, as well as the INSANE memory bloat, I'd be using Safari now. I opened 4 tabs in Safari: GMail x2 (one for a domain), me.com and HF, and Safari was using 450 MB of RAM! Report
August 17, 200917 yr comment_267079 Am I being obtuse? Where are the installation instructions for Linux? What am I supposed to run, updater? Depends, I guess, on if they've packaged it for your distro. Personally, I always grab the tarball on the Firefox site and end up with a freestanding installation. Which is great if you do lots of web pages, but a pain if all you want to do is use the damn browser. (Having to re-do links and icons and the like. ) I prefer Opera anyway. In my case, it's just download the RPM and it magically upgrades. Speaking of which, is anybody using the beta of Opera 10? Does it do anything wonderful? -Carl Report
August 27, 200917 yr comment_270540 For me, FF 3.5 is much faster than Safari 4 on my mac. Safari seems to have many delays in loading pages. Report
August 27, 200917 yr comment_270545 For me, FF 3.5 is much faster than Safari 4 on my mac. Safari seems to have many delays in loading pages. I have noticed this too. It will occasionally just stall, for lack of a better word. The latest build is much better in this regard and I've started using it again after having switched over to FF for a while. Report
August 28, 200917 yr comment_270904 In 10.6, Safari blows away FF by a considerable margin. However, with 3GB of RAM, Safari will use 400 MB just browsing GMail! I guess that's where the speed comes from -- it caches everything in RAM. I might give Camino another go on my Mac, now that it has Flashblock built in. Report
September 3, 200917 yr comment_272847 3.5.2 had some serious memory leak problems. It'd use as much as 800mb of ram before just crashing. Back to 3.5.1, no problems. Report
