Oh don't make me choose, you both have such good points.

The question is: Firefox or Safari?

Safari is the OS X (say it fast) browser. It plays nice with Mail, and Address Book. It plays extra nice with OS features like drag and drop of url's - STRAIGHT TO THE DESKTOP. That's right, drag the url straight to the desktop to form a link that automatically starts up Safari to said url next time you want to play.

Excuse the englesi, Brown Brother's Port is at work here.

Firefox is... Firefox. It's sexy all by itself. It has extensions, it has the yumminess of open source going for it (don't talk to me about Linux) and it's standards compliant. It is secure and it does everything I ever wanted from a browser - in a Windows environment. On OS X I just have one problem - middle click don't work. No open new tab by middle clicking. No closing tab by middle clicking. The middle click just opens the Finder!! I've tried TabMix Plus, no joy. I haven't looked into TBP or TBE.

In Safari the middle click works. Kinda sorta. It opens a new tab (YAY!!). It doesn't close a tab when you click on the tab bar (Boo Hiss). It still occassionally opens the desktop Spotlight (wtf??)

Why, why is his head soooo biiiiiigggg???
